I had a double hernia in my abdominal wall 2 years ago. The surgery left me with a 6 inch wound that required 20 staples which was painfull for the first week,the car journey home was horrendous felt every bump in the road but after that things improved. The healing process took in total 8 weeks before I was able to move around unrestricted,the same operation in the groin area I am led to believe is even worse.

6 weeks tops. Having keyhole or open?

Mine's the groin area and the surgeon won't know until he starts whether it will be key hole or open until he starts!!!! confised

Sounds odd, where you having it done?

Obviously keyhole requires less time to recover so hopefully they opt for this. Mine was open and had numerous problems but like I say, back to work in 6 weeks. Worst problem I encountered was shitting, make sure they give you something to empty your bowels as it took me best part of a week to force anything out!

He just wants a good look at your junk mutters, you should shock him and stick your bunker famous toy down your surgical gown.

I had a double groin operation in 1998. Full slash job, none of that cissy keyhole stuff. 3-4 nights in hospital.
The only pain was when I had to use my abs. It took about a week before I could hold myself upright properly, then everything was fine.
Unfortunately I started pumping iron again too soon, which set the full heal back a couple of weeks.

Ouch! Would you prefer to be known as Iron Monty in future?

Guessing Mutley won't be at risk of making the same mistake.

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Tue Jun 07, 2016 3:30 pm

Everything went ok....only had to do 1 side and it was keyhole which was a bonus!!!!
Still in bed now....have to wait 2 to 3 hours!!!!
But the Morphine is great!!!!

Don`t let the nurses catch you milking it, it is frowned upon in public apparently sadx

Good to hear all is good Mr Mutley

How's it now?

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Wed Jun 08, 2016 7:21 pm

Not as bad as expected but quite uncomfortable!!!!

Haven't been able to go to the toilet though due to the codeine painkillers they gave me!!!! confised

They gave me senokot aswell and I've also been using fibregel with no luck....not even a fart!!!! confised

I've knocked the codiene on the head and I'm taking ibuprofen!!!!

Might be able to help you out there Mr Mutley - I've had a prolapsed disc (from playing football...which takes the injuries this last season to four) for the last two months so have been taking Tramadol, Amitriptaline (spelling?) and Methacarbamol but as a result my trips to the toilet have significantly reduced and when I do go it takes fookin time to pass what feels like a house brick but on closer inspection is a grain of rice.....so I take Movicol.

It did the trick.....initially didn't think it was working so took more.....then had the shits.....now I take it once every other day and all is ok as far as that is concerned...

Hope that helps
