one of my clients had his hernia operated on...was back in the gym doing light stuff 2 weeks later.

i had one as a child, got operated on, havent noticed it as an adult.

symptoms generally are felt in the lower abdomen. a protruding abdominal area. sometimes its a bit lower in the groin.

With respect to its effect on your training, and recovery time, it depends. Where exactly is the hernia and how bad is it. I know guys that have popped a little one, and only been affected for a short while. I've heard of guys blowing one out that looked like a high placed woody and they were fucked, and not lifting real weights for a very long time.

Sounds like yours is pretty mellow though.
