Just got my 2nd Inguinal hernia operation. Nothing much else to do but walk frequently (god I miss my dog so much) and the rest of the time taking it easy with an e reader. (and finally some time to look at openhab)

I’ve now had both versions: Open in march and Laparoscopy just 2 days ago. In a day I walked around normal, and that’s my pitfall … taking it slow. I’m not good at that.
The choice is mostly based on severity. If I stood up, the left side bulged out quite a lot so it had to be done open. Rightside wasn’t visible (yet) and so it was Laparoscopy which is a lot easier on your body. Although … the pain in my shoulders (The dioxide gas they blow in searches a way out) was very intense but lasted less than a day. The pain after open surgery lasts for days.
