Post-Operative Recovery and Long-Term Care
The goal of modern hernia surgery is a rapid return to normal activity.
The Recovery Timeline
Day 1-3: Focus on pain management and light walking.
Weeks 2-4: Most patients return to desk work and light exercise.
Week 6: Heavy lifting (over 10-15 lbs) is usually restricted until this point to allow the mesh to become fully integrated into the body's tissues.
