Depends: This depends on the type of hernia, and the technique for repair. For groin hernias, lap repair has a 1-2 week recovery period, and open repair has a 2-4 week recovery period. Ventral or incisional hernias are highly variable, thus its more difficult to say. Odd are highly in your favor you'll be just fine. Pain is tolerable, and treatable. Lots of folks get though it. Hope this helps!
