Dr didn't recommend surgery yet. Just a (shhhhhh) girdle.

It's not a girdle - it's a 'body shaper'!!!! :) Or so I think that's the PC label nowadays ? Spanx ((tm)??) & such, eh?

After this weekend and I could barely walk I was glad to get the hernia diagnosis. It feels like severe menstral cramps and I don't get those anymore. So hernia makes sense and better than something like ovarian cancer which is what I was thinking.

Why didn't the doctor offer you a fix. Even if you wear a girdle the hernia is still there. Hernias are an easy fix, I would ask the doctor or seek a second opinion. I mean, why put yourself into a damn girdle for the rest of your life cause that hernia isn't going anywhere.

Get a second opinion. Please. -- Peace! Om

I'm with Mags and Om on this one. A hernia is a tear in the abdominal muscles which allows to intestines to pop thru and get caught, sometimes causing the intestine to get gangrenous as the bloodflow is cut off. (something I remember from anatomy class in the early 80's). It also screws up your digestion process since that part of your intestine is not functioning. Popping the intestine back in the tear and strapping the tear closed to keep it from happening again is a quick fix. The tear is still there, you forget or get sick of binding yourself up and 'pop' there is the hernia again. The procedure, for lack of a better analogy, is like mending tear in the seam of your pants. Stitch the two sides back together and your heiney doesn't stick out anymore. -ginny

A girdle, not a truss? (The latter has a pad which pushes in on the herniated area. Ugh.)
