My abdominal wall is damaged and my intestines are trying to get out. It's called a hernia, and can happen to anyone. Wearing the above belt gets me through my day just fine except for the uncomfortable straps around my legs and against my nut sack.
Tomorow morning I go for a consultation with a surgeon to figure out when and how to fix me(likely I will have some sort of mesh installed).
In case you're wondering just where the belt fits I came up with this visual...
I'm @edthecanadian and I'm a little nervous. I hope you giggled a bit from this.
Ah, this is not good news Ed. So sorry! What was the outcome after the consultation with the doctor? Being on a wait list won't work. Push the doctors to get it done so its behind you before winter kicks on and you have all those extra things to do...unless you have a holiday you can tack surgery onto and get a few extra days at home to recoup. Had to chuckle at your placement of the silver coin with the cock on it!!! @edthecanadian 🐓

After christmas is always a slow time at work for me so that would work out if it happens then.
I'm glad you had a chuckle😘

I've had the hernia and the surgery and currently have a mesh patch installed. If you have any questions hit me up.
Surgery you go in the morning and you're home by lunch / afternoon.
I was never give a belt to where so maybe it's new or yours is worse?
The worse part after the surgery is
A. when they take the tape off my dad laughed and said it looked like my nuts sucked up into my stomach
B. going from sitting to standing after sitting for a while.
Anything else you're concerned with just ask.

Geez, that sounds painful.
Wife’s stepfather had a hernia surgery last year. His midsection was bothering him for over a decade! His recovery time was quite long.
Good luck.

Dang! Terrible issue and terrible undies. I knew a kid in high school who got a hernia. Recovery for a kid was fast. Not sure how it will go for an adult. Good luck!

I’ve been there!
I avoided surgery by going to Bourassa’s for treatment. You ought to check it out!

Sucky man. My injury is in the front beside my pecker, the only treatment is surgery or nothing. I'm on the waiting list now.
