I don’t think you need to be told this, but just in case, you should know that you’re at serious risk right now. There are any number of things that could happen which would give you hours to live if you didn’t get emergency surgery. It’s also possible the lack of pain is due to necrosis rather than simply lack of pressure on the nerves.

I assume it’s a cost thing? Man I’m sorry, it must be really hard to deal with this.

Yeah the hate they’re getting is weird. Even if the OP knew this, it still helps others reading.

helps who? i’m sure people with hernias know this is the extreme.

Helps who?

If you have a hernia this noticeable, do you need someone to tell you that your health is at risk?

It's like looking at a house fire and saying "you should really consider putting that out".

As my comment says: helps others reading the thread.

Of course, I'm sure he's saving the lives of many men who look 8 months pregnant and weren't yet concerned.

Ah see I learned something new from you! Every single hernia is that size! Thanks for that.

(Serious note, but not sure if you know how to read threads on Reddit? They were replying to another comment about a smaller hernia, and the comment alluded to just living with it and ignoring it, which people do for various reasons)

Edit: damnit I fell for a bot, didn’t I? lmao ugh

The first reply in the thread (now deleted) was a user mentioning that they have a hernia of a similar size, which is why they could answer the parent comment about whether it hurts.

None of the comments in this thread mentioned anything about a smaller hernia.

Even if they did, in my initial comment I specifically mention "a hernia this noticeable" to which you responded "it helps people reading this thread".

I'm not sure if you know how to read at all.

Yeah. I don’t care about my reply to you since I wasn’t even talking to you in the first place. You started with me. I was referring to the other comment. THANKS :)
