I had surgery in May to repair 2 hernias along an incision from a colon resection 2 years ago. The hernia repair surgery was much more painful for me than the resection. I had to take pain meds for 4 weeks after that one as compared to only a little over a week for the resection. Most of the pain had let up after about 6 weeks, but I still occasionally get some painful pulls from the mesh when I cough or sneeze.

Since you had the same surgery how long did it take you to recover?Last night totally sucked and i'm getting over the pain meds,this blows

It took about 7-10 days to start feeling semi-normal again.  After three to four weeks I felt a LOT better.  If you have ANY of the below, you should take it pretty seriously and contact a doc.  I hope you start getting better soon, hang in there!

 

Warning Signs After Surgery
  • Fever
  • Excessive sweating
  • Difficulty urinating
  • Redness
  • Bleeding
  • Worsening pain
