After being messed around for 4 years on the NHS and being told I didn't have a hernia, then I did, then I didn't, then I did again and having a operation cancelled last May and hearing nothing since, I decided to search the Internet to see if there were any other options. I'm so glad I came across this site and found the reviews on Martin Kurzer. I immediately booked a consultation and saw him in a few days. It was so nice to see someone who specialises just in hernias and knows what they are talking about. He instantly confirmed that I had an umbilical hernia and took the time to answer my questions. You never feel rushed or unimportant, and the surgery was booked in for three weeks time (as it was Christmas). Having waited for 4 years to get to this point I had had plenty of sleepless nights and was fairly nervous about the surgery - especially after reading lots of horror stories online about how painful it was and all sorts of problems with mesh etc. Well I had nothing to worry about. I woke up from the anaesthetic and to my amasement had no pain whatsoever. I expected it to kick in after a few hours, but still nothing. After 4 hours I left the hospital and went to a hotel I had booked in London. That evening I was able to go out to a restaurant for a meal, still in no pain. I continued to take paracetamol for a few days as advised, but stopped after 2 days and still had no pain. I couldn't believe it. I was a little sore getting up and sitting down but apart from that was absolutely fine. I went back to work on the 2nd day after my surgery. After a week I took the dressing off and there was a very neat 4 inch scar which was barely visible and now I am completely back to normal. Martin did a fantastic job and I'm so glad I found him and went to an expert. I only wish I had done so straight away all those years ago. I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone needing a hernia repair.
