Incisional hernia: This is a tough question to answer as not all hernias are equivalent. Smaller hernias may allow patients to return to desk jobs in a few days. Larger hernias may take 6-12 weeks prior returning to work. Manual laborers will also require more time prior to returning to work. This is a question that needs to be discussed with your operating surgeon.

Depends: Generally most people are limited to no heavy lifting, straining, bending etc for 4-6 weeks. Depends on what you do for work and how bad your hernia was. Talk to your surgeon
