A member asked:
I had femoral hernia surgery (lapro) last week--can i do normal activity?

Should be ok: My postoperative instructions for lap groin hernia are to return to normal, full activity as tolerated by pain. It's usually 1-2 weeks. Ask your surgeon for their postop instructions. Just call the office and they should be able to tell you straight away.

Wait: Usually need to wait 4-6 weeks before heavy vigorous activities. Walking and light exercises are alright when approved by your surgeon.
