Surgery was pretty quick and easy...now it time for the recovery. Still seem to be feeling pretty good. Got home about 11am..it is now 2.

Hope your recovery is fast and painless frank keep us informed about your recovery

The doc told me, 2 weeks off of work...then 4 weeks of light duty. Not quite sure what the limits of light duty, but I feel good already. It’s hard trying not to do anything. Not supposed to lift anything more than a gallon of milk.
He said, the first two week..strength of repair will be up to about 30%. The 4 weeks of light duty will bring the repair up to 90-95%. Will never be 100% again.

Some of the info I've read actually suggested with a mesh things may actually be stronger, but you can't believe everything you read on the internet lol. The last repair was a year ago this December, the first one was in early 2015. The issue I still deal with is swelling, if I'm standing or walk a lot by the end of the day there's a lot of swelling in some minor discomfort, I really don't think that will ever go away completely. I'm sure everyone is different though. When it comes to lifting you can feel too much pressure and what not, I'm sure the more muscle tone you have in general the better too.
