Had the surgery yesterday. Turned out I had double hernia repair - tore both sides lol.
Recovery pretty easy so far but godddamn its a pain trying to remember not to lift anything.

@livefreeordieNH, how's the recovery going so far?
I had a double repair maybe 9 years ago. I felt ready to do stuff much faster than I actually could have. I remember at one point (a week or so post-op) thinking I could go back to work (sitting at a desk). But just being upright in a chair for longer than I had been previously during recovery started to hurt and made me nauseous.
I also distinctly remember the worst pain I've ever felt coming when my wife told a joke two days after the surgery. It seriously felt like I could feel each and every stitch holding the mesh in place when I laughed.
