“Laparoscopic surgery” is not a generic term with which one can ask the question you posed regarding recovery. A host of other factors are involved in computing such answer. Such factors include the age of the patient, the type of operation being planned within the abdomen, and ones preoperative risk factors, to name a few. Your husband has done himself a huge favor by quitting smoking several weeks in advance of his surgery. I would suggest you talk about the recovery with the surgeon who will be performing it. If he were to have a laparoscopic appendectomy or cholecystectomy, recovery would be a whole lot different than if the proposed surgery is a laparoscopic gastric bypass or laparoscopic colectomy. With regards to the risk factors that I mentioned, were he to have a colectomy because of multiple attacks of diverticulitis, the recovery would be a lot longer than it would be if he were having a colectomy for stage one or two colon cancer.

Saying he had surgery is not sufficient information. What surgery did he have? Sphincterotomy? injection of Botox?
Recurrence is a bit odd. Has he been examined? Could the bleeding be something else this time like hemorrhoids? Go back to the surgeon who did the original operation and see what he has to say.

Is surgery the only option for a disc bulge?

While a period of rest is initially recommended, physical therapy is the cornerstone to improving core muscle strength which may improve symptoms. The younger you are, the more likely the disc is still liquid enough to resorb and retreat back into the disc space and not herniate into the spaces where nerves are. Chiropractic manipulations may help realign the bones enough to allow this to happen. Your treating surgeon may also recommend epidural injections to facilitate this herniated disc to retreat. If all this is not working, you will likely get an EMG which can show the surgeon that the nerves transmitting signals to the muscles are injured and the muscles are dying. Surgery may be recommended, but understand that the reasons are to prevent further damage. You will likely still notice weakness after the surgery. You can try acupuncture, but it is not helpful to the majority with disc problems.
