I'm having surgery for an inguinal hernia on 27th November. The Blackburn game is 5 days later on the 2nd December.
Is it too realistic to think that I can go to the game? Obviously I would need to sit for most pf the game. I had the same surgery of the other side a few years ago and there is a pho of me flying a glider two weeks later built it was a while back and I can't remember what my movement was like just 5 days after the operation.
If anyone has had recent surgery could you please advise.

Hey Glasgow, my wife had this done last year, she was all good for minimal activity after a few days, no lifting etc but walking and being able to go to a local restaurant etc, She was driving around day 5.
Obviously everyone is different, but i'd say be hopeful :) |  |

Hopefully everything goes well, but I think the only real way of answering this question is 'your body will tell you'. In all honestly, I would book that one off and avoid the uncertainty all together, give yourself that buffer to make sure your wayward knobs are tight and your pistons are lubed.

I had my second one done in the summer and like yourself, couldn’t remember how the first one went! After 5 days, I was still quite sore and getting up and down was a bit of a challege. Probably best to swerve this one in my opinion, but entirely your decision. |  | | |

Thanks everyone. Think I'll order the tickets and if I'm not up to it then the boy can take his girlfriend instead.
Personally, I think there is only a very remote chance that I'll be up to it. | |

Flying a glider five days after a hernia op?
I bet that was a little soar.
I'll get me coat. |  |

I had bilateral (double) hernia surgery about a year ago.
I went to a match about 8/9 days afterwards and was OK until we scored. Automatically jumping up to celebrate I realised it wasn’t such a good idea. No damage done but I did wonder for a while! |  | | |

I had similar in the summer and I reckon I'd have struggled to do as much as that at that point. A bit ambitious, I think, |  | | |

Make the decision on the day, or day before. And Remember football seats aren't the most comfortable to sit in. Best of luck. | | | |

Perhaps they could speak to the club closer to the time who may be able to help transfer the seat to one of the padded seats. | |

Are you having keyhole or open surgery? I have had both . Keyhole recovery time much better and day 5 probably OK but you will need to take it very easy. Open surgery - personally my movement was still restricted and uncomfortable on day 5 and I would not have risked going to a match with long travel. | | | |

Open. Which is the same as last time.
I hadn't actually fractured in the travelling time to get Blackburn. | |

Booked tickets. Managed to get a couple in the front row which is classed as safe seating. | |

Going back 25+ years i had a hernia op a week before the infamous 5-0 Norwich game so I had the same decision to make. I managed to come through it with stitches in place, though I did have to control myself on a few occasions. Once we went 3 up it was more easier to not go crazy, though being in the old North stand it wasn't always easy 🤣
I imagine that modern surgery is more effective these days, so I say go for it and I was certainly glad I did! |  |
