Hernias & Pregnancy question

I'm currently TTC, and just found out I have a hernia, an inguinal (groin area) hernia.  It's on the extreme lower abdomen just above my left leg toward the front.  My Plastic Surgeon told me I need to get it fixed before I get pregnant as it will get worse during the pregnancy.  So, I'm going to make an appointment to see my RNY surgeon to look at it and get his opinion, but wanted to know if any of you had dealt with that particular type of hernia during a pregnancy and if so how did it effect the pregnancy and/or delivery.

Thanks!  I'm sure hoping this won't delay our efforts, but will roll with it if it does.
