Uncomplicated hernia surgery should be an outpatient procedure; nevertheless plan for a possible overnight stay in the hospital if a complication should occur which means if you pets arrange for a caretaker. Also you will not be allowed to drive yourself home so make sure you have someone who can bring you home from the hospital. Wear clothes that will be easy to get into for the ride home - loose and comfortable.
