Hi folks,
went in for keyhole surgery yesterday for a ventral hernia. No idea why but they had to proceed to an open incision and I have NO idea on recovery now. The sick note I was given before the operation is for a week and I expected to drive within a few days but am now in lots of pain and frankly cannot even pull myself up the bed.
Am thinking I need to go steady and go with the flow but wondered if anyone had any advice or idea if the recovery is going to be much longer than keyhole?
Did 40 miles last wk so guess I was ready for a rest week but this is ridiculous!
thanks Camlo

thanks Phil- the dr did come and speak to me after the op but I was given tramadol in the recovery room so can't remember a word of it! Don't even know if they used mesh or not and have no follow up.
I already feel better than a few hours ago!
You should contact the doctor/hospital and get their advice.
They should have an advice sheet they can give you.
Guess I'll be chewing my hands off by then....
Needed a break from kids yesterday so trainers dusted off and 3 miles in the bag! Not pretty and not quick but a week earlier than predicted so happy with that!
