No, my hernia was in my belly button. However, read the threads on here. It seems highly variable how quickly people recover. It was much worse for me than I expected, but others felt able to ride home. I should have had the whole 6 weeks off, but others feel better almost immediately.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. If you have keyhole, buy some simethicone, some co-codamol, some lactulose and some ibuprofen. Between that lot, you'll clear the gas, numb the pain, and avoid the unmentionable side effects of surgery+pain relief.
Good luck
