Has anyone had a hernia?

[Aussie Steve]

I had no pain from mine and I have basic hospital cover...so all I paid was four hundred for the private hospital room. I suppose different people experience different side effects...either that or you're an almighty wuss and need to harden the f up....lol.

I had virtually no pain after the op but I did need to bury my best mate...my border collie of 11 years... the next day and my other half had to dig the hole....man what a bastard day that was I can tell you...so yes you will have to take it easy for a few weeks...now almost 12 months later I can carry a grand piano on my back with ease while lifting ten bags of cement on a pallet.....well maybe not ten bags!!
