How long will you be out of commission for fishing?

Ouch! Had a double hernia fixed May last year. That sucked, mostly because I have extremely bad reaction to any narcotic painkiller and the doctor ignored me and loaded me up with them.

Good luck man.

Listen to your doc.  Do not, I repeat, do not go by how you feel.  

If you mess up your recovery by doing something foolish, it will set you back more than the three to four weeks the doc told you to take it easy.

A friend of mine had surgery, and the doc told him to take his pain meds for so many days, even if he thought he was pain free.

A couple of days after the surgery, he felt pain free, and thought he knew better than the doc, so he stopped taking his meds.

The pain returned, and his pills did not touch it.  He ended up having to go back to the doc on an emergency basis, and get another high dose injection to get the pain under control where his meds could maintain it.

Follow your doc's instructions to the "T".  You'll never regret it.  

Good luck! 8-)
