I had hernia surgery back in May of this year. I wish that I could tell you what to expect, however my experience was not typical. The best that I can do is offer you some advice. See my post here

I am now going through the dental work for the busted teeth. As it turns out, I had 10 teeth that were also damaged in the accident.
