Thanks guys for insight. Mine is a left side inguinal hernia, and they are just going to cut and put in the mesh. Said it was the best way to do mine. So I hope all goes well. I have to teach the wife how to use the Kubota today to mow the lawn

(we have a five acre lawn) She has never cut the grass since we built the place 24 years ago! Should be good for a laugh, just hope she doesn't hit any trees with the cab and rip off the roof!
