Hernia: Going to see the surgeon on Tuesday, questions?

[GreenWave1]

I've had an inguinal hernia for over 10 years. I'm finally getting it taken care of. I'm meeting with the surgeon for a consultation.

I'm going to ask about time off from working out. What other questions should I ask? For those who have been down this road, are there things that you wish you new before surgery?

my friend had surgery for 2-3 hernia's last year and the way they did his made his manhood swell up quite a bit. he was pretty well medicated afterwards but he looked like he was feeling pretty ****ty for a week or 2

Good luck. Let me know how it goes, I think I might have a hernia and am wondering what I can/can't do at the gym.
