with a hernia u gotta listen to the doc on that one. its not like its a splinter or something minor. Take it easy and heal and recoop and hit it when u the doc says u can.

What everyone else has said... I had mine repaired last year, and had to wait 6 weeks to start even going light...

Just remember that they are messing with a part of your body that moves with every and I mean every movement you make. Take it easy, rest up...you wont have much choice....

Ive had two hernia repairs in my life. Your return time depends on the severity of the hernia (wich the fully don't Know till they go in) and what kind of work you do will dictate the time you need off. Usually about 6 weeks.

listen to these posts they are legit. Father had a pretty serious hernia bursts and it was about a week and a half before he was able to walk normally again so take it as serious as you can

Everyone here is speaking the truth. Rest up. The weights will be there when you get back and get doctor's clearance.
Not worth it to risk injury and keep yourself out longer.

I had two hernias. First too 5 weeks until i was throwing the weights around. the second one took 4 weeks until i was back to intense training. HOpe that helps.
