no.

Nope but i did have my appendix's out on the 18th of December.

my husband goes for his operation on his hernia on april 12, if he doesn't rest he will risk tearing it again

If your husband takes it easy, and relaxes there is little chance of a re-occurrence, less then 5%. He should be able to walk upstairs in a few days, as well as drive. He must remember that this is when everything is healing so he has to try to take it easy. Just keep an eye out for infection, and depending on his job he could expect a recovery of 1-6 weeks. Hope this helps.

best friend had it done, VERY painful !
