So whether you go back to your gp and ask for another referral to a different specialist for a second opinion , or like I did for my Coeliac Disease, ask to be referred to Londons Guys & St Thomas, ie a different and better hospital even though its a big trek away.
I had to complain a bit to get it, but I wasn't happy that the gastroenterologist at my local hospital was giving a shit.
Guys found many things he had missed or just not bothered to check you see.
Many nhs surgeons are also privates, so its worth looking on the net too.
Really an Nhs surgeon should do the same job to the same standard anyway, but there are many variables, not to mention everyones body is different anyway.
Make sure to ask the next surgeon questions about their success rate etc, percentage of risks long term like the pain you mentioned.
No need to settle just yet before you've interviewed a few buddy.
Come from a NHS career, so can read the literature. The news on mesh repairs is not good - oftimes worse than the original problem.
I get the odd twinge on the left side but nothing too bad. Beware the post Hernia poo though

Stayed off work a couple of weeks and now and again I get numbness in my thigh front. Meralgia paresthetica. Nothing at all like the pain I used to get before I had my op. I was fronting a band then and the pain was awful, trying to sing from diaphragm was impossible.
I remember not being able to move at all the following day and my wife having to lift me out of bed to get me moving, I was told to get up every hour and move a little bit, firstly just to the toilet (the first shit was trying to say the least) and eventually down stairs.
Getting to the toilet initially took an age but literally every hour I moved and felt a little bit better and was moving around surprisingly quickly considering, a week later I was walking around the house
I'm still numb in the area but it doesn't affect anything and it was something I was warned about, I have had no pain though but weirdly can sometimes feel it when coughing, quite how that works when all is numb I don't know.

I had one about three years ago and haven't had any problems since. It was pretty nasty before that, had some really sickening 'kick in the bollocks' type pain on and off for about a year whilst on the waiting list.
I do believe there have been issues (link below) but I'm ok so far. Gulp!

Me too. Left a horrible deep scar, which, even today, seems to get bigger if I eat food or drink beer.
So if you are reading this in the future and wondering about a hernia op on the NHS, feel free to message me and I’ll be happy to recount my experiences so far.
Im at the “self diagnosing/scaring myself via google” stage but will go to the GP ASAP for qualified assessment.
I initially self diagnosed myself as “not” having a hernia as I didn’t think there was enough of a visible lump, but it turned out I was wrong.
My recovery has gone well. Almost back to normal, just need another fortnight before I can get fully back to sports and work on my next injury. Very small scars too. It’s been amazing how quickly it’s healed although the first few days were not fun when I needed to cough.
Feel free to PM if there’s any specific questions.
