When he coughed, his hernia would swell up to 20 x 30 cm, or around 10 times the size of a normal hernia, making his life a misery. He said, “people accused me of shoplifting, they thought I was hiding something. On another occasion when I had my Jack Russell terrier with me someone asked why I hadn't given him the football, and another person even asked when my twins were due. People would stare at me wherever I went. It affected me not only mentally and physically, but emotionally too. It was highly embarrassing and depressing. It was awful.” A hernia occurs when an internal part of the body, usually the bowel or fatty tissue, pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. Mr Williams was originally told that his hernia couldn’t be operated until the plastic surgeon Graham Offer told him about a ground-breaking new procedure. Mr Williams underwent a complex six-hour operation which involved splitting the muscle layers of his abdomen and moving them over each other like a sandwich. Dr Offer, who is a leading specialist in complex abdominal wall re-construction, said it was the biggest hernia he had ever operated on. As for Mr Williams, his life after the recent operation has been changed by the pioneering surgery, and he is now living better than ever in his hometown of Leicester, England.
