My husband just had his surgery done lay Wednesday and they found 2 hernias and fixed them I am having mine done this coming Wednesday March 27th and am worried about them finding a hernia. Is that common. He seemed to have a good bit of pain with his. Any advice?

Yes it is very common, I had 1 hernia time of surgery then developed one 4 months later when I started losing a lot of weight...

Yes it's very common for them to find them and repair them during surgery. I had a small hiatal hernia they repaired with mine.

yep I had one repaired at time of surgery too

It's not a guarantee that you'll have a hernia. I didn't & I know lots of patients who didn't either. It depends. Good luck! You are not alone.
