I had mesh put in for a stomach hernia. I had 4 or 5 small incisions, the longest was about an inch. I was very uncomfortable for about a week, but i didn't fill the prescription I had for pain.

Buy bib overalls. Buy them one size bigger than the pant size you normally wear. (If you wear a 38, buy a 40). Very comfortable. not just for when you are recovering from hernia surgery.
