Has anyone on this site had an operation for a Hernia and still mangaged to Bodybuild.
I am gutted. I have been training hard and loving lifting weights, but I have developed a Hernia from lifting drill collars at work and have to get an operation.
The Doc says I will be out for 4 weeks. Does anyone have any advice on this. Will I be able to train again afterwards????
The pain just now is bearable, if an op means I cant lift then I dont think I will have it
I am starting to get real results and feel great but this problem is really getting me down. Any advice given would be gratefully accepted.

You should definately be able to come back. I've known at least 3 people who have had the surgery and came back to there regular/strenuous activities.
Just take your time and listen to the doc and rehab it correctly.![]()
"When I use the word intensity I mean the ability to continue past and through the pain barrier where your mind pleads to stop and in fact convinces your body that you have hit failure, but you push through. How far you push through that barrier is the level of intensity with which you train." -- Twin Peak
i just had the op on may first and im back to working out. i was out for 5 weeks. but once you come back and are fully recovered youll go back to being at the status you were at before.
But take it real easy in the begining.......five weeks is enough time to heal, but not really enough to strengthen the surronding areas.....I`d go real light for at least another 3 or 4 weeks before slowly increasing. You don`t want to end up back in hospital with another hernia in the same spot.
