Holy Smokes, tell him he's a wuss. I had hernia surgury 4 years ago and
was back at work the NEXT day. Literally, I only took off the day of
the surgury, and when I went to work the next day, I was on nothing
stronger than OTC advil. I have witnesses.
ACK! - either Barry is superman, or has no neurons.
I just had a double, laproscopic inguinal hernia repair, with 2, 4"x6" mesh patches installed.
I was so swollen, I could not put on underwear for a week, and 2 more weeks to go back to work. I think it varies depending on the particular operation.
