I can hardly buckle up my shoes and I am fed up with the noises it makes.
The doctor seemed to think this was okay and funny. It isn't. It makes my
colleagues feel sick to hear it squelching and it makes *me* feel sick to
know that they hate it when I can't do anything about it.

Let us know when it's scheduled. That's a considerably longer
recovery time than I thought, but it does sound much bigger than any
regular hernia. You're right to go for the surgery. I don't see how
a hernia like that could just be okay to have indefinitely.
