Last surgery was in December.  Got a big hernia op on 1 July,  when I'll have a mesh fitted.  I forgot to ask if it's OEM NHS mesh, or something from K&N.    It ruptured where I had previous attempts to removed my gallbladder.    That will take me up to 20 general anaesthetics!
Hernias are a real bummer.  I can't even go out on hot days,  as I can't wear t-shirts,  as the hernia bulges,  and I think everyone is looking at me.   My family have already told me it totally freaks them out.  Looks like something from Alien.   That really reinforced my self confidence  

 .    I was told I can't even think about riding a big bike,  or even any bike,  for at least two months.    And after I've lost weight.  And improved muscle tone.    Just writing that,  makes me feel like I'm a hundred and three  
 I hope the recovery goes well guys.   Just take it easy!!!!    I can give advice,  but not follow it.
