I found out last year I had an umbilical hernia that needed to be repaired. I decided to do the tummy tuck too, since I was going to be off work about the same amount of time anyway. So I'm prepping for surgery and the plastic surgeon is drawing his lines on my body and says to me "you have a groin hernia". I'm like no way.

Funny enough, I am not scared. My husband is more terrified about this than I am. I am excited for the procedure because I feel that after it is all said and done that I will be happier with my body than I am now.
