Return to work after abdominal hernia surgery depends on the nature of your job. Most people can return to office work in two to four weeks. Jobs that involve heavy lifting require more time to heal, usually about six to eight weeks. Talk to the surgeon who performed your operation.
4-6 weeks
This all depends on how invasive the procedure is. This would be a great question for the surgeon!
When cleared by Surgeon, but normally 2-4 weeks.
