anyone with hernia story? just had surgery

Well after reading all this, I'm more weary now than I was before about getting mine fixed. I have a consult with a surgeon in a couple weeks. Mine has bothered me a little over the last 2.5 years. But last week during softball, something happened and I could barely walk for a couple days. That's the first time that has ever felt that bad. My whole aim at getting this done is so that I can start exercising again. But it sounds like that may not be an option anymore from some of your stories. Am I reading that right?
