I am about to have a hernia operation. I have had it for about 7 years (that I know of). It is bothersome from time to time, but if it doesn't bother you much, you can live with it.
They have no way of knowing how long you have had it. They can't deny it for pre-existing.
I have to pay 20% - my total cost will be around $600.00 - so I would wait until you have insurance.

Uhhh, there may be NO manner I could be touring out of the states to get a botched surgical procedure. But on a significant word, for those who discover a well reply to this query, are you able to e mail me? I am within the identical boat, besides it is my husband that has the hernia. We additionally should not have wellbeing coverage.
