What "percentage" back to normal do you expect after surgery?

Before my surgery, I asked my doctor how strong my inguinal hernia repair will be after the restriction period ends. He said 87%. I did not clarify if it was 87% at 12 weeks and then after a bit longer it gets even better/stronger to 95%, 100% or more? (I can call him back of course, but it is what it is at this point.) Just thought I would see what your Docs told you. I assume that these repairs should be close to 100% at some point, but what say you?

PS - is anyone else still weary of lifting things? I know at some point I won't even think about it anymore but sitting here at 4 months I am still very cautious.
