I have had 2 done and it all depends how you heal . My stomach was just really sore , first time it took about 2 weeks second took me about 5 weeks before doing anything. But when I did pregnant I was trying . It’s not good to have it done and get pregnant again because it’s going to be. Waste of time your hernia will return it takes the hernia repair up to a year to heal . So after I got pregnant the 3rd time I didn’t go back and get it done again do to I wasn’t sure if I wanted another baby but good thing I didn’t because that would of been the 3rd time and it’s not good to keep having babies and surgery. So this is the last go around on kids I’m getting my tubes tied and I will have the 3rd surgery sometime next year because I know I wont have to worry about them coming back . But after my first surgery i got pregnant 3 1/2 years later and that’s because I was on birth control as well after my second child second surgery I got pregnant about or less then 5 months but I lost that baby after that got pregnant 2 1/2 years later so it just depends and I wasn’t in any birth control then just being careful . But is this your first one because I see you don’t have any colors by your name ? And where is the hernia?
