Hello bud,
my op was about 30-35mins long and was in and out in the day,
It was more discomfit then pain but I did not want it to get worse,
I got an ultrasound just before I had to leave to go on holiday and was told it was a 4-5mm umbilical hernia and that I could play football but just keep an eye on it,
When I got there, I did not feel like risking so I spent the 5 days just chilling in the van and doing some walking etc.,
When I got back I decided to have the op as I would like to get back to climbing and I did not feel right playing football with it,
Had to wait for 6 months to have the op and now it’s just recovering so not played football in 7 months and its killing me 🙁
Hope this helps
