Whether or not you need a surgery depends on the size of your hernia and the severity of your symptoms. Open surgery requires a longer recovery process. You may be unable to move around normally for up to six weeks. Laparoscopic surgery has a much shorter recovery time, but the risk of your hernia reoccurring is higher.
