What Can Happen If A Hernia Is Not Repaired Quickly

What can happen if a hernia is not repaired quickly and starts to push the stomach muscles out.
My father is 90 yrs. and in quite a bit of pain. His appt. with his surgeon is not until Jan. 28th.
Should he push for an earlier day this coming week?? Would a compression belt help him until Thurs.?
I'm most worried about infection!!!
