Susan,
>From my experience and knowledge of hernias,
living with them for awhile may be acceptable,
however, they don't "repair" themselves. There
is a significant chance, depending on how weak
your abdominal wall is already, that it could
enlarge and get worse. My cousin had a small
umbilical hernia last year and waited until a
month ago to have it fixed. By the time they
got in there, it covered a 10" X 12" area!
I'm not saying this could or would happen to you, but ask your doctor what he feels your risks of waiting too long are.
