Umbilical Hernia

[Whorid]

So, it's been almost a year with it...but I totally have an umbilical hernia. It doesn't hurt, but it looks somewhat unsightly. Especially with a comp coming up in January; I'm hoping to get the surgery before then. Not sure how long it puts you out, but wondering if anyone else who competes has had this problem and either competed with it or got it fixed. Currently 185lbs with just gym shorts on. No shoes or socks. Finishing up a bulk. Trying to hit 192lbs in 4-5 weeks ...

Thanks Man. It's my belly button that's distracting me ha. Don't want it to effect judging...

Wouldn't your stage tan make it not so noticable​?

Had the surgery last August. All in all, it wasn't that bad.

Put me out of the gym for 4 weeks and laid off squats for 6.

Very minimal pain after. Just have to be real careful about moving for the first week or so. Make sure you take laxatives lol

Awesome, thanks for any and all feedback. Truly appreciated. The tan will probably make it less noticeable, but especially when I flex my abs, boop haha just pops out. Sdog77 that's not long at all. I figured 4-6 weeks: it's manageable time out.
