Answer 1

It depends which surgery you are getting and what type, location the hernia is. It also depends on your overall health and a few other factors you can read more on at the sites below. I pasted a few excerpts so you can see those and go to links if you want.

Open would be longer and laproscopic would heal more quickly. Any exercises done to help repair it though are said to cause more damage. So the best thing to do is rest and not lift anything.

If you are getting laproscopic surgery here is some info about that and there is much more info on the link about the surgery itself and other things you probably want to know:

What Should I Expect After Surgery?
Following the operation, you will be transferred to the recovery room where you will be monitored carefully until you are fully awake.
Once you are awake and able to walk, you will be discharged.
With any hernia operation, you can expect some soreness. This will be mostly during the first 24 to 48 hours.
You are encouraged to be up and about the day after surgery.
If you begin to have fever, chills, vomiting, are unable to urinate, or experience drainage from your incisions, you should call your surgeon immediately.
With laparoscopic hernia repair, you will probably be able to get back to your normal activities within a short amount of time. These activities include showering, driving, walking up stairs, lifting, work and sexual intercourse.

If you have prolonged soreness and are getting no relief from the prescribed pain medication, you should notify your surgeon. You should call and schedule a follow-up appointment within 2 weeks after you operation.

More info on this site:
What is the recovery time?

Rapid recovery after surgery is dependent on the location of the hernia, the type of hernia, the repair technique used as well as your individual, physical health. With the advanced surgical techniques used at the Hernia Center of Southern California, our patients experience considerably less post-operative pain, have fewer restrictions after surgery and recover rapidly. We typically see our patients return to everyday activities within DAYS of surgery and can return to work and back to recreational and sport activities within two weeks.

NOTE: Recovery following incisional and/or more complex hernias may be slightly longer to some extent depending on the involvedness and type of the hernia and the general heath of the patient

Answer 4

After my surgery in August 2013, it took me about 2 weeks before I could stand up without much pain. It took about 6 weeks total before I could start lifting weights again.

Although, it has now been 7 months since my surgery and I am 95% recovered. I am still experiencing numbness in my upper thigh/pubic area where the surgery was performed. I have read online that the numbness might not ever heal fully.
