Dr. Golkar did my hernia surgery this past February when we were there in The Villages.
He is an extremely busy Dr. so make your appointment soon. I had a relatively bad inguinal hernia on my left side which he did a repair on.
I consider my pain level tolerance quite high, I barely take a Tylenol. But I'm here to tell you that the pain after that surgery was excruciating !
It lasted about a week before it finally subsided, and I took maybe 1/4 of the prescribed pain pills.
Just make sure you have someone there to help you get up and down for that 1st week. And keep in mind eveybody reacts differently as far as the healing process, so you may heal faster than I did.
I do know that I definitely feel a whole lot better since that surgey, so also keep that in mind as well.
Good Luck and don't over think it.
