Back to triathlon training after umbilical hernia

Hi all,
I compete in triathlons and a couple of days ago I had my umbilical hernia repaired. I am thinking that I will have to take 6 weeks off training to make sure it repairs fully. My question is can I just jump straight back in? Will it be totally repaired by then? How will I know how hard I can push? I have the Noosa Triathlon 2 months after my 6 week recovery so will need to get my fitness back pretty quick.
Has anyone had any experience with training after this operation?
Thanks!
