I had a bilateral laproscopic inguinal repair about 7 months ago. i still feel pressure and discomfort on my left side. normal?

No: It is unusual to still have lower abdominal/groin pain this long after laparoscopic hernia repair. This can indicate nerve irritation, over-exertion, or even a hernia recurrence. This is best sorted out by an in-person examination. I recommend that you return to see your hernia surgeon. Good luck!

Maybe: It may be "normal" for you feel some discomfort and pressure in your left groin after laparoscopic hernia repair. This depends on what your symptoms were before the hernia repair. The process of wound healing and scar maturation goes on for 12 months, so i would give it some more time. It would be however a good idea to go back to your surgeon for an examination. Hopefully you'll feel better soon.

Pressure in left groin. Doesnt hurt to lift, bend, or cough. No bulge or pain just feels like pressure. Could it be an ingunial hernia still?
