My trip to the doctors office left me speechless. After 29 trips, the unthinkable finally happened. Sure the pain was getting to me, but I never thought my ol' buddy would give out on me like this.

I was stunned when the words left his lips. "You have a hernia". His next question caught me COMPLETELY by surprise; "Can you think of any activity that may have caused this or aggravated your groin over the past several months?".

It wasn't easy, but I managed to respond that maybe 'yoga' had strained my groin. How could I tell him the truth?

That explains it. The pain while climaxing on the last two trips was progressively getting worse. Talk about a love/hate relationship, I was tired of my groin locking up while my unit fired during the grand finale.

So it looks like the gringogroin has to go under the knife soon. So much for a January trip report. It looks like my member is on the injured reserve list.

I'll post a follow-up after the surgery...

Aw man...that sucks. Acrobatic sex will do it to you every time though...he he he. Good luck buddy.

I had a hernia operation maybe 6 years ago or so. How is your tolerance for pain? The first 3 days or so afterwards were absolute hell every time I wanted to move. And taking a leak? Make that a double . The best part was when I saw my left ball about the size of a mandarine orange except that it was black as night with blotches of deep blue. I mean, it near dropped down enough to touch a knee. And my dick looked like a seriously rotted sausage that had burst. I called the doctor's office in utter panic and the damn nurse just laughed at me. "Nothing's wrong. Don't worry. It's just that you had a big hernia and they had to yank a lot of things around to take care of it while you were under sedation." And then she laughed again. Bitch.

And it is a scientific fact that the hernia repair surgery will make your dick shorter.

And it will also permanently loosen your sphincter muscles...if that is of any value to you.

Yikes. Tight Fit's post is enough to make any guy scared. Hopefully I never have this problem. Rest well DonGringo and speedy recovery.

Gosh, you guys paint a lovely picture. lol.

The after effects depends on what type of hernia it is. Who knows, maybe it can be externally manipulated back into place which may cure it (permanantly or temporarily). good luck with it.

During my trip to Rio last May, I was diagnosed by a garota(who knows more about male anatomy than most physicians, well at least she has seen more of it)that something was not right. Upon confirmation by a Doc in the US, needed double hernia surgery. In Sept had the procedure done and was back to work in a week. If not for the emergency gall bladder removal within 10 days of the hernia surgey, I would have been on my way to Rio earlier than the end of Oct. I have been back to Rio twice since that hellish Sept, each trip has included multiple follow up exams by said garota. Per her expert opinion, voce esta tabom agorra. If you can have the hernia repair done laparoscopicly(sp?), that is the way to go. Good luck DG, email me.

DG,
Getting old is hell. The wages of sin are now being reaped, and you did a pretty impressive job of sinning during your last trip.

All joking aside, good luck with the surgery. I just returned today and a certain little spinner asked me to send you her best. Unfortunately, that can't be done over the web.

I understand know that certain hernias can be treated very uninvasively. Make sure you get a 2nd opinion, because you don't want to literally go under the knife if you don't have to.

I have a hernia starting to become noticeable in my navel. Fortunately, it isn't anywhere near my dick or balls and isn't painful. At my recent physical my Dr. told me unless it starts to bother me, it wasn't necessary to repair that type of hernia. He told me a surgeon will always say that I need to have it repaired, but with this type, it isn't necessary unless it starts to stick out further than my dick and becomes painful. Still, it is a bit disconcerting when I try to do crunches.

As for your favorita spinner DG, there will be plenty of guys to "fill in" for you. I gave her up though, so don't give me a FU. That FU belongs to Layne and company.

DG, what position do you think caused it, and where? All that Salsa f**cking in Cuba, or the Samba f**cking in Rio?

Just kidding DG, I wish you a speedy recovery!

sf4dfish, inSPBrasilhobbying:-)

DG getting hernia surgery? Talk about great tragedies...first LeBron goes on IR, then W can't find WMD, now this.

I see a made-for-TV docu-drama in the works. Can't wait for the ending!

Oh, and BTW, depending on the location and severity, hernias can be removed/repaired with a laparoscope. But beware, not all surgeons use em and those that don't will conveniently forget to inform you that its available. Ask him.

I for one hope this hernia puts you out of commission once and for all. I trust that I am not the only one sick and tired of your antics.

In the words of the late great Bullwinkle....
DIE MOTHERFUCKER! DIE!!!

aww shucks DG..sorry to here about your cannon...can I have the 24 yr olds number while you're down?? luv ya mean it!

If we keep this up, we might see a DG production of his hernia operation

I know the real story. DG got some of his pubes stuck in Fernanda's braces and he got hurt trying to pull himself free. Or maybe it was the Irish dominatrix sessions that did him in.

Set the DG production of the operation to "Love's been a little bit hard on me"

Thanks for the 'support' guys. I admit to feeling appreshensive about this procedure. I might be able to put it off a little longer, but I'm not sure the alternative apparatus will look good under a terma robe



One of you emailed me privately to say that 'yoga' could not have possible irritated my groin as much as hobbying. I admit that I might have overdone it a bit during my December Rio trip. (Is 12 girls in one day with 3 nuts and 5+ hours of ball-slappin action overdoing it?) But I had something to prove to myself. If a hernia is the price one has to pay for such activities, then so be it.

And as for GCL who said "And it is a scientific fact that the hernia repair surgery will make your dick shorter." If my package can look like this when the procedure is done, I might just book a flight to your office to see how your customers like my new look.

I lost a testicle today. I discovered this when I stretched and felt a strange pressure on the ol' groin. Reaching down past Morning Woody, my nutsack felt strangely vacant. Sure enough, one of the twins had left the building.

Turning white as a sheet, I jumped out of bed. The action of standing readjusted gravity, forcing my wayward walnut out of my abdomen through the tear in my muscle wall and back home where he belongs. The pain was intense, but so was the sheer joy. I've never had a happier reunion.

I can't wait for the damn surgery. Nobody deserves this.

Eeek. You shoula put a lojack on that sucker just in case it happens again.

Dongringo good luck to you buddy on your surgery. I know it will be a lengthy one based on TOOL size. My last memory of you was Sep 2002 with you sitting on the couch in Luomo with a Garota on either side and that monster climbing up your white robe. Hurry up get well and get back in the game soon. When I read the above post by you and Seaman I laughed so hard my sides locked up on me again you BASTARD. Take care and get well quick. - Hemp

Hemp, stop looking at dicks please.

DG, as long as the doc is poking around down there, make sure to get a vasectomy if you haven't already had one.

Cat I was looking at the 2 Garotas but DG's FLAGPOLE just kept growing and growing. The Doc has his work CUT out for him. - Hemp
