Just had surgery for a.10x8 hematoma due to an earlier hiatal hernia what can i expect.regarding pain and recovery time?

Should get better: If the surgery was a success, you should expect getting better and better, having less pain and healing fairly quickly. Since I am not familiar with the details of the surgery, i cannot give you any specific detail pertinent to your case.

Worse: This is your second surgery in the same area so it may be a more painful and longer recovery than the original surgery.

Recovery time varies: Recover time will vary depending on many factors including age, general health of the patient, infection control, smoker or not, blood sugar control, the exact type of procedure, and post-operative and follow up care. Discuss it with your surgeon and get their opinion as to what they feel is a reasonable recovery time for you.
