Usually several days up to a week. Afterward, you will still feel minor discomfort for a couple of weeks. But pain medications would make it extremely minimal.
It depends how old you are and what type of hernia repair you are having.
Need for pain medication can be as short as 24 hours for a baby, and up to 5 to 7 days for adults.
