Brief Answer:
Needs proper evaluation and investigations

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Hernia is a planned surgery that is not an urgent one unless obstructed.
T - wave abnormality in EKG must be evaluated well before any surgery particularly a planned one.
This may not be bad but needs a proper cardiological evaluation and investigations and then only should the surgery be done to avoid any complications as anesthesia and surgery both create a stress and trauma hence the patient should be reasonably fit.
Better be sure.

I hope this answer helps you.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
