Patient Satisfaction

How likely are you to recommend Dr. Linn?
I had two hernias repaired by Dr. Linn roughly five weeks ago. This was done at Glenbrook Hospital. The surgery went very smoothly, and there was very little pain after the procedure. In fact, I did not even need the prescription pain killers that were offered. I stayed home the next day, mainly as a precaution, then began resuming my normal activities after that. However, I avoiding cardio workouts and lifting anything over 20 pounds until after my follow up visit with the doctor. Now I am doing all of normal activities, including workouts, without any pain or feeling anything unusual. I am happy with the results. The only glitch was that after the procedure, I had difficulty urinating. I have moderate BPH and urination usually takes some effort for me. In this case, the types of anesthesia used, both general and local, took many hours to wear off. For me, it was roughly 8 to 10 hours before normal urination was fully restored. This is something people with BPH should be aware of.
