anyones ds had a hernia operation

[mumofthreebeauties]

My DT1 has to have an op next month and I was wondering what the recovery time was.we plan to go on holiday 6 days later.will he manage that?

He will be fine - recovery is very quick, a day or two as far as I can remember (3 of my kids have had this op, one as a baby, the others at 5 and 7).

I had op when I was 7 for umbilical hernia was kept in for 2 days after but was fine afterwards.

Sure he'll be fine, DS had two, one at 4 weeks and one at 4 years and he just had to keep quiet for a couple of days. Assume you're not going to middle of sahara or anywhere without any sanitation!

my little brther had one when he was about 2/3 and i dont think it hased hi at all.
i think he will be fine to go away, just keep any stitches clean.

Just north wales or possibly France. we haven't booked anything yet as were waiting for the date of the op.
