I had a Hernia removed bout 20 years ago now. What i remember of it was that i had a hernia the size of a tennis ball which extended down into me nutsack. I went into surgery to have a "hydrocell" removed and when i came out they siad it was a hernia.
Anyway they had to stitch my nut to my leg so it didnt go in where the hernia came out. I wasnt allowed to get up for 5 days and icouldnt leave hospital til i could shit normally. I dont remember it being overlly painful but you couldnt lift more than 10kg for 6 months. Was on light duties at work for 6 months to.
One thing is you are always concious of what you lift, even now, cause you dont want to stress the "weak spot" ion your gut and do more damage!
P.S. Should mention i was actually born with it and it just got progressively bigger as i got older.
