I recently underwent surgery for a strangulated hernia. I had a large hernia for several months with no problems. However, once it became strangulated It was only a matter of days before I needed emergency surgery. I experienced severe stomach pain and was taken to the emergency room. After determining that it was indeed due to a strangulated hernia, I was scheduled for surgery the next day. The surgery involed removing 10′ of my intestine that had died. Fortunately I came out of the surgery fine, however, had I waited another day or 2, I probably would have been extremely ill or even died. My surgery was 4 weeks ago. I spent 1 week in the hospital to ensure that there were no complications and have been home 3 weeks now. I feel great, really had NO pain after surgery. I’m eating normally, walking 1/2 mile a day and have just limited restrictions on my physical activity. Don’t put off surgery, it might save your life.

I’d like to see more information on hernia stragulation period. It seems informatoin on this topic is almost always the last sentence or paragraph in an article. And I’d like to know the possiblities of living with a strangulated hernia. Are there any?

I’d like to see some statistics of how many die from strangulated hernias. I feel the advice to get surgery *now* is manipulative. I don’t see a proper weighing of the possibilities of dying from strangulation vs the possibility of dying from hernia surgery or resulting complications.
