It depends on the skill of the surgeon. I had one operated on on a thursday afternoon. Spent Friday in bed all day except to do the necessary function. Saturday AN uit felt like the hernia was back. A week later, the surgeon said it was just swelling, and would go down. Saw another surgeon a month later - he said " You have a hell of a hernia" Couldn't get my money back from the first one, but have had two operations since, and am still not allowed to lift more than 20 pounds! Hope you have better luck!!!! Keep your steam up! Walt

Anyone have experience with hernia surgery? I am scheduled for July 5 and doc suggests I not expect to travel before a month. If anyone has experience where I might hope to be able to tolerate steam up activities I would be glad to know if your recovery was ok for some travel after 2.4 weeks healing. ~ Gary, scudding over Terror Trestle http://community.webshots.com/user/raltzenthor http://www.angelfire.com/or/trainguy/ _______________________________________________ SSLiveSteam mailing list Send messages: [email protected] Cancel subscription: http://postfix.45mm.com/mailman/listinfo/sslivesteam Rules: http://www.45mm.com/sslivesteam_guide.html _______________________________________________ SSLiveSteam mailing list Send messages: [email protected] Cancel subscription: http://postfix.45mm.com/mailman/listinfo/sslivesteam Rules: http://www.45mm.com/sslivesteam_guide.html
