[Kipper is King]

Well, I found out I have a hernia. I know it's gotta be repaired, and I'm not expecting it to be a walk-in-the-park.

That being said, I hope that if I pick a good surgeon and follow any recovery directions closely, I will be OK. I hope I can still enjoy sports and eventually do heavy lifting.

Anyone here ever had hernia surgery? Are you doing alright? I've read some horror stories, but I really need some comfort. It is one of the most common operations performed, after all.
