Anyone else have an open surgery?

Hi everyone. I am fairly new to OH and I haven't posted much. My surgery is coming up in August God willing and it is going to be an open one due to scar tissue from previous hernia surgeries. I am ok with that but I am looking for others to talk to who have been through what I will be going through as far as surgery. I learn so much about everything else from everyone and really appreciate you guys and this site. Thanks a bunch!
