Surgery!

[rBuckner]

Hi Marantz Buddies!

No, not surgery on a Marantz... on my belly button. It popped out last summer sometime when I didn't even notice AKA an umbilical hernia. So I go in for "refurb" Monday 1/24 AM. It's a minor surgery but does take some getting over so I get a break from stereo work for a bit and can be a smart aleck for a bit! Maybe I'm finally cooked, like the opo out button on a turkey when it's done?

We'll be thinking of you.

Good luck. I had hernia surgery about 10 years ago. It definitely took some time to recover.

 

[mrswakka]

Best of luck dude.

Oh ughh. I have an "outie" too. Never had one until I gained a bunch of weight and lost all my abdominal muscle tone. Good luck and keep us (me!) informed. Hope they aren't going to use the mesh.

I don’t know about imbelical hernias, but I had an inguinal repair, and when they say NO lifting, they mean it. You don’t give it time to heal, and they will gladly go in and do it again, for bucks!

I had the same hernia back in 2008. Good luck with the surgery.

Good Luck and Speedy Recovery

Good luck on your refurb Randy!

I wish you a safe and successful procedure and a quick recovery!

I've had several hernia operations, and currently have an outie that doesn't bother me right now. Eventually will need to be fixed.
Good luck with the surgery Randy, and just take it easy and let it heal.

 

[Jonstigator]

Good luck and recover soon! We all want you back and healthy.

It sounds better if you say you are going in for a "tummy tuck". Hernia repair isn't cool. Cosmetic surgery is. Speedy recovery, and I will echo the "don't rush" advice. A friend got to get it done twice because he lifted his grandkids too soon.

Hang in there rB. It's a standard procedure today...not to worry.

Just be thankful ya ain't having a baby!

Any particular reason on the mesh? It was mentioned as a possibility.

Amen brother!! Thx!

surgeons will use surgical mesh to strengthen the repair. Kind of like bending the leg over before applying solder to make it last

 

[fromnowon]

I really hope it goes well and is very successful, and for a speedy recovery.

Had the same supra umbilical hernia 5 years ago....ya, piece of cake. You go in talk to the surgeon; wake up, you're done. Will say a prayer.
