    I had two inguenal hernias as a child, as did my grandfather and his grandfather; for some reason they skip generations in my family. My grandfather was a surgeon and I remember him telling me before my surgery not to worry because, "It was a procedure so simple he could do it in his sleep." He was actually the first one to spot I had a hernia in the first place when I was a toddler running around outside in the sprinkler. I had my surgeries at 4 yo and 7 yo and the worst thing I remember about it was just the nausea from the anesthesia after the op.

      Hi Raja v, I had the surgery Jul 12, 2021, on an outpatient basis in the Los Angeles area. The surgeon examined me just before surgery and found that I had a minor left inguinal hernia as well, and said he would use meshes to fix them both. They still put you under general anesthesia. Mine was done laparoscopically. It's fairly high tech using robotics and the operation wasn't cheap. But It is better than the conventional "cut you open" operation. The first week or so, you aren't suppose to do sit-up like movements - besides it hurts anyway. But the 3rd day after surgery, I was already taking a slow mile walk. Although the restriction was no heavy lifting beyond 15 pounds for the first month, by the 3rd week, I felt that the pain in the surgical area was pretty much gone. Hope this info helps. wq

    I had my inguinal hernia surgery 16 days ago. It is good to read some honest comments here. I have seen some people post videos saying they were better after a week and let's just say they are in the minority😄. My surgeon did a poor job in letting me know about the after effects of the surgery so I wanted to share those with anyone that reads my comments. I could not urinate after the surgery because of the effects of the anesthesia so day 2 I had to have a catheter inserted. NOT an enjoyable experience! A day later I had it removed and all my body fluids flowed as normal. I expected soreness around the incision but my right testicle was also very sore. Another aspect my surgeon failed to clue me in on. The whole area around the incision is still swollen over 2 weeks later and the incision itself feels like an underground pipeline is under it. Another aspect she said was normal while it heals. My surgeon prescribed Tylenol with codeine for pain and it does not help at all and the codeine only makes you constipated so make sure you ask for something stronger if you feel your pain threshold is low. I have been rechecked twice since the surgery and she says it is progressing fine but I have my doubts😄. She said to count on 6 weeks for recovery. I think I will need every bit of 6 weeks.

      Oh crap Mark, that sounds awful. Forewarning is so important in situations like this, and it's only fair to be advised of ALL the possibilities beforehand.
      Now this may sound misogynistic , but it is knowledge I gained from first hand experience. Having had more than one Dr throughout my life, being a man, I would not recommend to any men out there to have your general physician be a woman. A male doctor is a man, and men intrinsically know about men. For instance, your lady Dr. has no experience when it comes to testicles. It is only something she has read about. She couldn't possibly know how and in what way they are sensitive. It wasn't surprising to hear that she rather flippantly disregarded the importance of informing you on a topic of which she has very little knowledge. Book learning alone seems to be an insufficient medium to convey rather important information.
      A lack of empathy is another field I have discovered to be common, and mostly for conditions and injury's that only men could experience. And that is extremely frustrating. It can feel as if the Dr. doesn't believe what you are telling her.
      Anyway, personally never had the best experience with female drs. It was a real eye opener to discover the two types of drs in the field and the differences I experienced.
      I don't mean to broad stroke brush across all lady doctors as being that way. I'm sure there are many fine perfectly suited female doctors that would be good for men as well. For me, I will stick with a man doctor every time.

She would have made a lot more money as a model, but it is good that she cared enough to stay with medicine. The problem with picking a hernia surgeon or in fact any surgeon, none of them had the procedure done on themselves so they cannot know the experience before or after. They can only relay what their patients have told them.

    I've had this surgery done back in 2011 and I never been asked to go back for a review to see how it was. But now I have another inguinal hernia again and I believe this also has caused me to develop Varococeles on both sides! From my research online varococeles are mostly common on the left side and very rare on the right side but no mentioning on the both? All this happening now has caused me to have anxiety and stress. can anyone shine some light on this symptoms being caused because of an inguinal hernia? Or worse? many thanks. Plus I did find this video useful.

    Tips and information for recovering from Hernia Surgery if you live alone.
    These are things you should do before you leave the house to go for surgery.
    Cook and prepare a week’s worth of meals and snacks before surgery. Meals that will be easy to pass through your digestive system. Things like vegetable soup with beans, carrots, celery…, oatmeal with prunes, egg salad, chicken salad, steamed carrots and broccoli, asparagus… low fat and low grease type foods. Snacks like apples, oranges, *ripe* bananas, all kinds of fruits are good to keep things moving.
    Start taking a stool softener one or two days before surgery and then continue taking it when you get home.
    Place something next to your toilet you can grab onto to help you get on and off the toilet. Do the same for your bed and other areas you may sit.
    Have toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss out and ready to use. A glass of water to rinse your mouth out. You’re not going to be able to bend over to _cup water_ in your hands.
    If you don’t already have a _grabber,_ get one.
    Do not take your phone to surgery. Leave your phone at home on your nightstand and fully charged.
    Have on hand at least two ice packs that you can wrap a clean cloth around to put over the location of surgery and rotate them from the freezer as needed. This will keep the swelling down.
    Read your after surgery instructions and follow them. Listen to your doctor and follow his/her orders. Keep the wound area clean and clean it with an antibacterial soap every morning and again before you go to bed at night.
    The next day get up and walk but be careful. I walked outside around the cul-de-sac four times a day starting the day right after surgery. Twice in the morning, once in the afternoon, and then again in the evening.
    Have clean sheets on your bed.
    Wear loose fitting clothes.
    Have plenty of water and Gatorade on hand and before you leave for surgery place a few bottles on your nightstand, computer desk, kitchen table, kitchen counters, your television chair, and in your refrigerator. Drink plenty of liquids. At least four bottles per day.
    Take pain medication as needed but don’t over do it. All pain medications can cause constipation.
    A thermometer on your nightstand.
    A list of movies you may want to watch.
    I can’t sugarcoat this for you. The first three days are going to be tough so be ready. It gets easier on your fourth day.
    Good luck and I hope this helps.

      To answer your Question. Your Hernia Mesh can take upto 3 Months to fully heal. When the Surgery is done. You can go back to your Normal Activities after 3 to 6 weeks depending on the Advice your Surgeon will give you. When you do return to the gym. You have to do Abdominal Exercises to strengthen them Because if you start to lift weights right away. You may cause recurrence hernia so you have to be careful especially with Lifting Weights. Yes you can lift weights but don't go Heavy with them right away.
      But before all of that. When the Surgery is done. You can easily recover after 3 Days. In that period of time you need to Walk. Remember walk slowly. If you're at jogging/Running pace. You will likely going to Cause Recurrence hernia.
      For 3 Days to 3 weeks do walking to help hernia with Healing process then 3 to 6 weeks, start with physical Exercises to strengthen your Abdominal, ab and oblique muscles. However when it's come to lifting Activities, do them with low weights.
      After 6 Weeks you can do Any Activities and you can start do Compound exercises such as Squat, deadlift and bench press. However you need to Start them with low Weight and slowly make your way up. Remember Hernia mesh can take 3 months to fully heal so you have to be Careful. When the mesh Is fully heal. You have to focus on strengthening Abdominal muscles as much as possible Because if you move to lifting Activities right away without strengthening Abdominal muscles. You will likely going to Developed Another hernia which will be Epigastric, Umblical or femoral Hernia.
      I hope my comment helps you.

      For most Cases people return to their normal Activities after 3 to 6 weeks. So you may Wanna Ask your surgeon for further Information because when your Surgery is finish, you have Chance to talk with him about your Physical Activities.

      I've had one over a year and a half. I had surgery when I was 7. It went well the mesh they used was recalled so I'm suing. But I'm going back in to get surgery. don't be scared of the surgery. Be scared of the hernia. U cud die if it gets strangulated and that would be extremely painful. I regret not doing it sooner but I'm gonna have the surgery within 2 months
