I had a sports (inguinal) hernia a few years ago and got it repaired. The surgery went well and all was fine. It was the mesh-type surgery. I started playing hockey again (goalie) 6-8 weeks after my surgery (can't remember exactly now). Lifting stuff was fine a few weeks afterwards. I don't have any lingering issues or anything like that.
My doctor was Dr. Steve Martin (yeah, I know, we had a good laugh about it too) and he was great.
