    Depends how long the hernia runs...the laparoscopic method is the way to go. I had conventional surgery and I couldn't walk for a week...and couldn't do anything hard for at least 4 weeks. With laparoscopic surgery...you're walking in a day.

    my dad got one done like a year ago, usually they can just like inject it with a needle i think, but his was so big that they actually needed to cut it out and **** so it took longer to heal but hes 60 and it only took him like a week to heal up. good luck
