I will go see the general surgeon to see what my options are, but I am very reluctant to have this hernia repaired as I have read a lot of stories that indicate the
hernia/bulge can return, or worse complications, mostly rigidness and
chronic pain. Right now, aside from the very unsightly bulge (big as a grapefruit), I don't have much pain from in. I wear abdominal binders for support. I wear those 24/7 and it helps, and I hope it will prevent the bulge from getting bigger.
