Is It Normal To Having Swollen Testicle After Having Surgery For Hernia?

i had laproscopic surgery for a double hernia in Sept. 09. My left testicle is still very swollen. The surgeon said after the operation that it could take up to a year for the swelling to recede. Is this something that I should be seriously concerned about?
