Read this book before you have hernia surgery. Read it when you are supposed to be recovering or when you realise that you are not recovering. Not everyone has reoccurring problems with Hernia operations and not everyone gets misdiagnosed, but it happens a lot. Its not surprising when you consider its one of the most common operations. More than a million operations a year are performed in the United States alone. You would think we had this operation perfected to the point that recurrences are almost 0 but its not true, the recurrence rate is between 1-20% depending on the type of hernia you have and your lifestyle. These numbers do not account for all the millions living uncomfortably with their hernia for the rest of their life, unable to do the things they want to do. Inside this book you will learn: - What type of hernia you have, its not always obvious - How to live with and manage the pain and discomfort - The likely reason you got the hernia in the first place - The hernia without a bump the average doctor misses (the scans miss them too) - tips and tricks for everyday life And lots more inside. Whether your managing your life with hernias, being told you need an operation or your getting ready to go back for more help. I would be surprised if this book did not help you be prepared and informed of things you have never heard, things that never get mentioned but can effect everyday for the rest of your life. This book would have saved me from a lot of suffering, I might have recovered and lived a normal life. Take advantage of my experiences and research for the betterment of you own life. I wish you good health and a happy life. - Michael Brooks
