    Not really no.
    I had the same surgery last June and I’m still healing. Of course that was because i was retarded and put it off for 5 years so i developed what the surgeon said was called a third world hernia, meaning that the only time they see them is when we go to third world countries where someone has had it for literally decades because they have no surgeon . I was flatly told that “we don’t see them like yours in this country”. the sack that forms to protect the intestines hung down to my knees when they pulled it out of me. But generally speaking after about 5-6 weeks you are healed about as much as your going to heal. at least as far as the tissue is concerned. Nerves may or may not take longer based on how big it was. But even at 3 weeks you can pretty much do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t hurt…at all. Start slow and if you feel any soreness at all stop IMMEDIATELY and take a rest.

    The best bet is to follow up with the surgeon who performed the procedure and have the surgeon do a proper evaluation.
