I have an umbilical hernia but I was supposed to take care of and have surgery on five years ago

And I’m finally getting that done not next week but the week after that. I’m having anxiety right now because I don’t like surgery but me putting it off is just gonna make things worse. I’ve always had a small hernia, it’s never gotten big like the ones you hear about which is good but it’s gone through five pregnancies (I had one miscarriage) and plus I’m supposed to be taking it easy at the gym which I haven’t and so it has a lot of pressure on it especially from lifting and carrying the kids everyday and it’s made me go to the er multiple times this year to get it checked out and they just say the same thing so yeah I’m choosing to get this surgery so that I can enjoy life and not have pain where I can finally sleep on my tummy without it being uncomfortable, I can go back to the gym regularly. Just wanna go back to the quality of life I once somewhat had.

Had mine repaired a few years back at North Memorial. Best thing I ever did. Just go to sleep and woke up with a pain in my lip where the breathing tube pinched it against a tooth. No problems or issues.
