Good to hear, I have mine next Tuesday. Update March 26, 2024: I was sore for a few days, but honestly the worst part was waiting for the anesthesia to wear off. I couldn't pee (had the urge constantly, but only a few drops at a time) and didn't poop for two days. By the third day everything was working great and I felt stronger everyday. In fact, this morning the wife and I are headed to the airport for a two week vacation in Germany. I've been doing a lot of walking, yard work and running errands to get ready for our trip the last two weeks. When I return the doc said it's okay to start slowly lifting weights again. Feeling great and I'm glad I had the surgery.

[@Kmartee]

@@traingunner Due to things in my life, and the surgeon’s availability to perform the surgery, I had to wait 5-6 months. This was okay for my situation since my hernia wasn’t that bad, but I did notice it getting worse over those months. Certainly you need to know your body and how it feels with it. I got it because I know that it isn’t going to fix itself, and as the video demonstrated I don’t want to have intestinal strangulation which can be an even worse situation. Pain at worst prior to surgery was a 4/10, after surgery Days 1-4 was a 6-7/10 at worst, then has gone down to practically a 0-1/10 and this is 16 days out

[@TVD1984]

I think people should be aware that yes, you will feel much better after one week and almost completely fine after 2, but it does not mean you are in fact, fine, and that you can resume strenuous activities. The TEP procedure relies on the immune response of the body encapsulating the mesh, and that doesn't happen overnight. Which is why, most surgeons will tell you not to do sports or manual labour for up to 4-6 weeks even. And it will take a few months for it to return truly back to normal. So take it easy, don't jump back into sports or heavy (anything over 4-5Kg) lifting after 2 weeks, give yourself time. If this gets messed up you'll need open surgery for repair and you will be out for months on top of the hospital waiting list. What I found helpful is to stay healthy and active in the time before surgery, don't smoke, don't have any vices, eat healthy. After surgery stay active by everyday walking on the flat, start with 5 minutes and increase each day to where you are back to normal. Eat balanced and live healthily. Do not lay in the bed or on the sofa after maybe the first two days, that will impede recovery. Supplements can help as well in wound recovery, your body needs a lot of things from your food in order to recover, supplements can help in boosting the natural intake of foods. Hope that helps from someone who has gone through it himself!

If inguinal hernia appears only on one side of the body it is called unilateral inguinal hernia, if on both sides it is bilateral inguinal hernia. If a patient has unilateral inguinal hernia, but before the surgery the ultrasound examination discovers the presence of asymptomatic contralateral inguinal hernia, is the correct diagnosis still unilateral inguinal hernia, or it changes to bilateral inguinal hernia?

They don't explain how they get the mesh in there. How is that done?

[@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568]

it is pushed through the tube that went through the hole near the belly button.

My partner has hernia the doctor gave him an option open surgery or this procedure...he' s still undecided which one is good...

This is super old. I just had this done and most of that is way different now.

[@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568]

the only differences that i am aware of are -the common cessation of use of fixation for the mesh. -sutures are not always used to close the three incisions. -inflation of abdomen using C02. which things other than these are different, if i may ask?

[@MrDudetheassassin]

@@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568 well maybe not way different but my institutions are horizontal not vertical. Oh and they don’t tack down the mesh either.

[@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568]

@@MrDudetheassassin if your three incisions are running horizontally then you had a different type of procedure. you had TAPP, whereas this is TEP. please note that i mentioned lack of fixation of mesh (no sutures, no tacks).

I was operated by endoscopy surgery of my right inguinal hernia on 22 may 2022. My stitches are to be cut by 31 may 2022 but soon on 30 may 2022 I feel pain in the right side from my belly button and I feel my abdomen streched next morning and was little painful when I turn myself during sleep (karvat)from that day it's continued and happens only at night. I really need a suggestion. So please Reply it's a humble request.

My only advice is dont take advice off the internet! If you have questions or concerns ask your doctor or surgeon. Trust me either way you will get better answers and better results. Hope all goes well.
