PREFER WAITING: AS A SURGEON MYSELF, IF THERE IS NO URGENCY IN THE HERIA SURGERY, I'D RATHER WAIT. BUT IF YOUR SURGEON WANTEDTO OPERATE I WONT DISAGREE

Speak to surgeon: Hernia repair is a low risk risk out patient sugary , if you have not symptoms from hernia like incarceration most likely your surgeon will reschedule the procedure , alert your surgeon.
