Any guys here have had a hernia? What type of repair experience did you have -- mesh, no mesh, open surgery, laprascopic surgery? How was recovery? How did your hernia affect your sexual activity before and after your repair?
Any Guys Here Have Had A Hernia?

My ex-father-in-law went there many years ago for a hernia repair. He said they were great. Was your experience the same?
I had my umbilical hernia done at Sholdice Clinic 9 years ago. I spent 3 days at the clinic and I was back to work in 5 days. No problem. I highly recommend.
If you need it, just go to Shouldice (proper spelling) and ask them the questions. Nobody is better.
Welcome to Shouldice Hernia Hospital, The Global Leader in Non-Mesh Hernia Repair.
I was there back in Feb , great experience and you are not wanting for food .
Only bad thing was the bed and pillow which i brought my own .
Plus i lucked out with my room mate as we had many things in common like music and auto racing/old cars .
If it was a dating app we would have been a 90% match except for he was a guy .

Went in on Monday, operated on Tuesday, drove home Friday…. Played golf on Sunday…. Worst part was getting in and out of the cart, so I walked
That is why it was a perfect match. HE is a GUY.I was there back in Feb , great experience and you are not wanting for food .

When I went to Shouldice, there were other patients there from around the world. Also a couple from other Canadian provinces. They were willing to pay out-of-pocket despite the procedure being covered by their provincial plan.
There were also a few from around here who were getting the procedure done again because their hospital procedure wasn't completely successful.

I’ve had 2. The first in the hospital as an out patient and the second at Shouldice. Shouldice was great experience and would recommend it.
Shouldice does only open surgeries with no mesh. Hasn't anyone here ever had laproscopic surgery with a mesh as a repair? From what I learned so far is that laproscopic will result in patients going home the same day and the recurrent treatments are much lower with a mesh than without one. But I would like to hear it from any actual patients here who have been through the experience. For those of you who did it at Shouldice, how long did you have to wait before you could monger again?
Actually, the bulk of their surgeries are redoing failed procedures from elsewhere.
Seriously dude, Shouldice is basically accepted as the best of the best. If you need it, stop asking questions here and get yourself booked. You won't get better care anywhere else and just accept what they tell you.
