Ask anesthesiologist: Your anesthesiologist will do an assessment of risk before surgery and discuss this with you. If there is doubt of safety, speak with your family doc or internist to discuss your fears. The surgery you describe should be safe for the conditions you describe

Hi there, Over the last 5 months I've lost around 30 lbs of weight. As my body is slimmer, I noticed a small lump in my groin area about 4/5 inches below belly button. I'm not sure if it was there and I did not notice because of the extra fat. Either way, did some research and have narrowed down symptom to inguinal hernia. Scheduled appointment with personal care doctor but it is not until September. Should I see an urgent care sooner? inguinal hernia, how urgent to see doctor?
