A hernia is a hole, or split in the muscle tissue that keeps your insides in. When you have a hernia, The omentum inside can pop through the muscle and start pushing on the underside of your skin. You would be able to feel a bulge on your abdomen, under your skin, where there isn't supposed to be one. "Omentum" is Latin for "curtin". The omental tissue is a sort of curtain around your abdominal organs inside your abdomen, including your intestines.

Omentum Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

If you have a hernia, the pressure inside your abdomen will push the omental tissue through the hernia first. The omental tissue is made of Peritonium

Peritoneum Wikipedia the free encyclopedia.

If the hernia is small. then maybe only the omental tissue will pop through. If the hernia grows, then part of the intestine can pop through as well, causing a bowel obstruction that is a bit like folding a garden hose and stopping the water. If this happens, it can lead to death of part of the intestine and even death of the patient if not treated quickly.

Surgical procedures to repair Hernia these days could be completed in less than an hour or two in cases of inguinal hernia. Just as with any surgical procedure, the body needs time to heal after a hernia surgery. In most cases, patients are allowed to leave the hospital on the same day as the procedure unless there are any unexpected complications. Recovery process is gradual. If your work does not involve much physical exertions, you could be back at work in 10 days or less. But make sure you do it in consultation with your doctor. Gentle exercises are advised as part of the recovery process. But you'd have to be patient until your body fully recovers from the surgery before you decide to start working out or unduly exerting yourself.
