I just googled (images) "hernia" to get a little more insight. Yikes. Double yikes.

I don't know if I have one but it wouldn't suprise me! That is what I will tell my in-laws I had surgery for anyways

My surgeon came back into my room after signing my discharge papers to let me know that he had repaired a hernia during surgery. I didn't even know I had had a hernia, not to mention having one repaired! I had no symptoms and had very very little surgical pain. Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!

I guess you're just going to have to find something else to worry about.

My doctor repaired mine for me during surgery and I never knew I had one. I had been to the ER a couple months before surgery with some pain thinking it was my heart. They never found anything and now I am wondering if it was the hernia. I haven't had any pain after surgery so the hernia repair didn't seem to bother me.

See? So many people walkin around with hernias not knowing. I had a bout with chest pain some years back, the doctors never found anything and eventually the pain subsided (or maybe I just learned to cope with it). I do get a weird stomach cramp/spasm thing at times when I do a deep bend (to tie my shoe or something like that) and have to lay or sit down to ease it. I'm definitely thinking I probably have some sort of hernia.
