    Hey Martin 

    What kind of hernia surgery did you have?

    I had an umbilical hernia keyhole surgery with a mesh. It ruined my life for 3 years. It's all down to the mesh. They never told me the risks of it. Huge lawsuits about it in the states. 

    I had mine removed over a year ago and I'm close to me 100% normal again. 

    They usually don't need to use it, the mesh, but still ruin people's lives all the time. I hope you can get it sorted. BTW none of those pain blockers will work...
