Hernia Surgery

[plainjane]

I am going in for surgery to repair a hernia and wondering if any of you have had this surgery? I am most interested to know what the recovery time is. Any info would be appreciated.
thanks

Gosh, of the hundreds of members here not one person has had this operation?

Well .. I did at the age of 8 so I guess that counts. From what I remember, a couple weeks for full recovery and a couple days until your ok to just get around. Your Doc should be able to inform you of this anyway.

I had one when I was four months old. Got a scar beneath pubes from it. I couldn't lift for awhile afterwards from what I remember

I had surgery for hernia at the bellybutton 2 years ago.
In and out of the hospital the same day.Very quick recovery.
Very little pain.

I had surgery a year ago on a hernia....i was out for maybe 3 weeks. the surgery itself was a breeze....it lasted maybe 40 minutes. the fucked up thing though..and this is gonna sound wierd, but its realllyyy hard to use the bathroom a few days after the surgery. I was out supposed to be out for at least a month (words from the surgeon) but i couldnt wait any longer. I was training upper body three weeks later and lower body 5 weeks later. My buddy who did the Jr nationals last year was in the gym the very next day training. of course, he was 3 weeks out from the contest.

good luck

Hey thanks for the info. Glad to hear you are all fine now.
Did any of you have the mesh put in? I've heard thats best for quicker recovery and less repeat problems.
Mine is about an inch above my belly button. Popped out when I was doing hangin leg lifts - ouch!

yep i had the mesh put in....its supposed to make recovery a little faster.

another thing though, mine was on the right side right next to mah boys down there. im fully recovered but it took a few months to where i couldnt feel it anymore. I popped mine on deadlifts....hurt like a bitch!

Double hernia surgery out 6 weeks surgery was a zip same day .the ride 30 miles back home was a trip though. the day after kinda resembled a old time cowboy walkin to the pisser......Now my cock kinda resembles Groucho marks with scars for eye brows...Got the wire mesh suposed to reinforce area to prevent future popperz

I have had two. It will hurt when you laugh, cough or sneeze for a few days afterwards. I didn't work out for 2 weeks, but then I started doing light sets with high reps (but no legs for about a month)

Prepare yourself for this, you will lose size TEMPORARILY! By the second week afterwards, I was down about 15lbs both times. But after 2 weeks of training, I was back to normal size, except the legs. But they came back pretty fast when I worked started working them.

You'll be fine, if they use the mesh material, that area will be stronger than ever!
