I had surgery on Monday, November 10th, 2008. I had a right inguinal and umbilical hernia open surgery. I have never felt pain like this but, I am not letting it get me down. Can anyone tell me what to expect in the next couple of weeks. I was suppose to have laproscopic but, that was changed to open. I feel weak at times and having to rest more than usual. Just wanted to see how everyone else is coping with hernia surgery.

hi ,,welcome....i have posted my healing time in many of my postings. it is different for everyone but take it slow... yes ,you will have a very weak feeling for days. all this is normal,,i had lightheadiness for days after the op.
for me it is comming up on 6 months and i am still getting stronger each day. as a man i was always doing heavy lifting.that came back the slowest but what i am doing now is almost what i was doing before i got hurt.... i remember my first BIG STEPS were getting out fo the house by the 3rd or 4th day and walking outside.. than twice a day i would walk further and further...... good luck..........
