Comeback After Hernia Operation

I had a hernia operation two days ago. Ouch. I asked the surgeon when can I get back to the pool and he said in a month. This seemed a bit draconian and I thought he was covering his :mooning: I asked a nurse and she said two weeks which seems reasonable. I wanted to ask: do any of you guys have experience returning to swimming after a hernia operation? Any tips for me? Thanks in advance.
