I wonder if there is anyone who can tell me about their experience with their child and undergoing surgery?

Or DS has to under go surgery for an Inguinal Hernia (Any information relating specifically to that is most welcome) otherwise general information would be great. DS will be three and half.

What should we expect in the lead up to, during and after surgery for DS? Ive been told its a short, routine procedure but have yet to meet with the surgeon/doctor yet?

Also we will most likely have to travel for it (up to three hours away), any ideas/advice what to do there?

TIA!!
