Surgery
 

This is kind of an odd question, and I know it will ultimately be up to my Doctor. Has anyone had umbilical hernia surgery and gotten on the bike within a fairly short time afterward? I am doing my pre-op in a week and really hope I am not off the bike too terribly long.

Thanks,

There was a thread (I think over in 50+) about hernias a while back. I had a inguinal hernia and was back on the bike (carefully) after 2 weeks. However, I was 25 at the time.

Doesn't sound like "serious" surgery so I'm guessing you will probably be back on the bike in 2 weeks or less, if you feel up to it.
After having daVinci prostate surgery in December 2015 I was ready to get back on the bike after a month. I only delayed it another month because I didn't have full bladder control.

The doctor will very likely be conservative in his recommendations. If you were a pro athlete, you'd be back training a lot sooner.

Of course listen to your doctor. But--------------more important listen to your body. If you try riding and it hurts, stay off the bike. If it dont then ride on.
