Early 1993 had a double hernia-ie both sides (previously had a single hernia many years previous) and was home before lunch. Was 70 and had PD since at least 5/86. No complications due to PD.Medicines =1 Sinemet cr 50/200 and 1 sinemet cr 25/100. I remember the anesthesiologist had planned to use a local but I was shaking so much he put me to sleep during the operation. Hernia caused by lifting heavy planters during gardening. No complications during recovery. Did have to be careful due to constipation. Best wishes for your operation! [log in to unmask]
