A member asked:

Umbilical hernia surgery with local and sedation. how quickly does sedation wear off? is recovery very painful? similar to c section? walk easily?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Umbilical hernia: Sedation usually wears off in a few hours depending on which local they used. The recovery is similar to C-section. Make sure to stay on top of the pain. Watch out for constipation. Start off with bland foods and work your way back to a normal diet. Drink plenty of fluids. Monitor for signs of infection (redness, pain, swelling, and fever). Hope this helps.
