Bugger,
No SUP or any other activity for 6 weeks, double Hernia Op happening on Tuesday, max weight 5kg lifted after 2 weeks. It had better be flat and raining until 4th January, lol

Time for a trolley and an E Foil purchase

Oh I like that idea, my main worry would be coming off at speed.

Don't

Hey Dave, I had an inguinal and femoral hernia op several years ago, it was open surgery not keyhole ( greater success with open ) anyway advice is don't push it or you'll be back doing it all over again. I was off work for 4 weeks ( depends what you do ) and out of water for 6-8 from memory, though the last couple of years has thrown my whole memorator out.

Thanks for the heads up, I was told do nothing at all for 6 weeks and will have to do that, I don't want to go early and stuff up all the work that will be done.

Hi Dave,
Had mine hernia's done at 44 (left) & 50 (right). I know the later one took twice as long to recover (about 6 weeks) than the first one. Be mindful of the internal stiches as well & don't raise your hands above your head for a while.
Oh, and if you get the urge to sneeze post op, push down on bit between your nose & top lift. A lovely nurse told me that (after I had sneezed ).

Geepers Dave, take it easy and good luck with the recovery mate.
