Anyone dealt with an appendectomy or hernia surgery? How long did you take off?

A week? Dude that is intense coming back that quick. Hell, I could barely walk week 1 due to incision pain.

I had an open hernia surgery November 6th, 2015. I had a plug put in and mesh as well.
I had 6 weeks off rolling and returned with no hitch until last saturday.

Believe it or not, I have been rollling hard, lifting carefully light reps for now, all my body weight training/ plyometrics/ jumping ect......then I returned to Yoga. I did lots of twisting stretches and pulled up sore all around the surgery site/scar. I imagine ive stretched scar tissue and it hurt enough to pull me up fast.

Doctors say its scar tissue stretching too. Tonight I rolled lightly for 50 mins with not too much pain thankfully so thats my Hernia strory, and an update since it all went down in Nov 2015.

Hope it helps.

Happy healing

Sounds good. I've been doing some stretching, technique, and light rolling with my kid. Next Monday I'll be at 6 weeks. Still feel an occasional pull here and there but overall feel good. Looking forward to getting some rolls in soon.

Definitely helps. Thanks for the info!
