Well just thought I'd update everyone here, I recently found out I have a hernia in the groin area. It's definitely pretty sucky, I imagine I've maybe had it for a long time but I got really physically active 1-2 months ago and probably stressed it a lot. Now I'm forced to be lazy again, and I've heard from a friend who just had this surgery done he was on the bench for a month. That sucks.

The worst bit is since I'm still jobless I don't have insurance and my family barely gets by as it is thesedays, but I think my grandma/uncle might help us out a bit. The Doctor did recommend I get this done right away and over the last few weeks, it is getting more and more uncomfortable as they go by. A great time to be sick and having insane allergies too... sometimes coughing and sneezing hurts now.

I'm not terribly excited about the surgery itself, but it needs to be done. I just hate how it's 4 days before my birthday, so probably not doing anything this year until mid October or whatever lol. I figure I'll worry about getting a job after I've recovered and that definitely has to happen, I'm just gonna have to take whatever I can get at this point.

I wish you the best, boss. I know not having a job at the moment is a bummer, but think of it as a bit of a blessing. Unless you have super seniority at a job, it may have been difficult to get the time off for the surgery and stuff.

Are they talking to you about any sort of payment plan? Or is everything due all at once?

It's KU Med which I've been too before for another thing and they did a payment plan, I think they're definitely the place that'll work with you through these things. I imagine we'll try to get a lot paid up front and then I'll have a bill for awhile.

Yeah it's a little annoying since I've been trying to get a job recently, but when this popped up 1-2 weeks ago I feel like I should just hold off until mid October, that's probably the earliest I'd be available anyways. As you said though, yeah this makes scheduling for this a bit easier, I'll just miss a little school. I did talk to a manager at Costco and said they start seasonal hiring that month, and they keep people if they do good... kind of crossing my fingers for that!

**crosses fingers** Will most definitely keem 'em crossed for you. And good luck with the surgery. I sincerely hope it doesn't knock you down for an entire month. But stick through it. If they give a certain time for a healing process and you happen to feel better before that, please take it easy still.

I didn't know gods could have hernias.

Best of luck, my liege.

Best of luck, man. I've never had one, myself, but I hear they're painful.

At least you're getting it out of the way now.

Painful dosent fit if you dont get it taken care of in time. Also make sure you are close to the bathroom after you will sleep for most of the day and it will hurt like hell to try and walk over to the bathroom....... also im sry if you have stairs to deal with at all.

Fixed your post, Yasu. Your quote was bleeding a little bit

I hope it all goes well, Xeo. I have a hiatal hernia, it sucks. I can't even imagine how bad it is in the nether regions...

Interestingly enough it's just us guys in this thread so far that have this stuff... haha. Well I guess women have their deals too! But yeah it sounds like it's more common for men to get this stuff.

Yasu: Yeah luckily there's a bathroom right outside my room, but yeah... stairs. I'm hearing people say that could be an issue, my mom said she'll probably take the first day off though to help get me food or whatever.

Bitmap: Well the only two jobs I've had so far were pretty physical. I remember back in my Jiffy Lube days there were times when we had to stock boxes of oil, carrying them downstairs and all. I remember carrying three at a time, more than others, which was probably stupid! And at my last job at a warehouse I remember doing some heavy lifting with boxes of ice and stuff.

I am pretty curious to know if they'll be able to tell how long I've had the hernia? I dunno, in the research I've done though it sounds like you can have them for months or even years without noticing. But I got really physically active again about two months ago and probably went way too over the top with the weights, so that's when it popped up. I just don't know if it'd pop out so quickly after just two months, so I wonder if I've had it for awhile. Honestly I wonder if it's caused some bowel complications... and I do feel like I get bloated pretty easily, and "gassy" sometimes where I can just feel it sitting in my lower stomach. I have a feeling I shouldn't feel like that too often, so I'm kind of hoping this might fix that stuff too. But I guess it's maybe possible I have ulcers again, I dunno. I had some in the past.

All in all I really am tired of this shit, lol. I am definitely finding out within these last few years what it's like to not be a teenager anymore. Gotta work to keep healthy now. So I'm doing what I can to change up my diet, been really good about drinking water this year, and hopefully when I recover from this surgery I'm gonna start being consistent about hitting up the gym and whatnot again (taking it slower this time!...)

Reason why I ask is because my father had one. Except it was a double Hernia. He had his removed months after it was diagnosed. I just can not imagine the pain.

But this 6th will be a day I'll remember to spam the ever living shit out of this forum while you are gone! HAHAHA!

E- Not really (Spamming)

Sorry to hear about your groin troubles, boss, but happy to hear it's being looked into.

Guess the ladies will have to pause a while before partaking in the Xeo man again. I don't know how they'll ever survive.

Luckily it hasn't been obstructing my actual manhood, it's just far too powerful!



But yeah, the side issues seem to be stomach related. So I hope there's no internal damage. I'm not really in physical pain and it just popped up physically 1-2 months ago, so hopefully I'm beating it to the punch here before any real damage gets done. I can feel it though, sometimes when I sit down it feels like a ball in there... very unpleasing.

It does suck to hear people can get them again though. I guess one of my sisters friends has had 4 and he's younger than me, damn.

@Gunmetal: Can you see yours? My stomach looks odd thesedays, but maybe it's just me having somewhat of a gut now. lol, I notice when I breath though it looks weird... I seem to breath with my chest mostly.

Yeah I'm probably way too self conscience about this junk, but oh well!

There's someone younger than you who's had four? Geez...

Well, if it's only been a couple weeks, you should be fine.

I saw this a few weeks back and thought of our talks of what a happenin' place Kansas can be:

Nope, but I can feel it at all times. I saw x-rays of it when I was younger (about 10 or 11) and it's a piece of my stomach that's about the size of my fist being strangled by a small piece of my diaphragm about the size of a dime or nickle. Needless to say, I can't take big bites of any sort of food without gagging on it and I have to swallow things bit by bit.

The pain that is caused when food gets lodged in the hole is excruciating and I tend to panic whenever it happens, one time some steak got caught there for 4 hours and I thought I was going to die while the rest of my mom and a friend laughed at me the whole time... Not a pleasant evening.

Wow, can it be repaired? Kind of sounds like maybe one you've had since birth or something.
