Incisional hernia repair.

Sorry that I have not been online much. I felt stress/pressure that everyone was losing but I wasn't because of my infected incision. That took a little over two months to heal. I'm half way to my goad so I'm happy.  Last thursday, I went back into surgery to repair a hernia created from my infected incision. My surgeon was great, he actually removed quiet a bit of skin along with the 4inch  round reddish scar from the infection. It looked like I had eaten a small soccer ball when I stood up it bulged out so much.

So I feel like I am starting over with the healing and eating process. I was hoping that if anyone had any ideas on how to help my recovery. My physical therapist is looking for specific exercises I can do. So far I have been told no weights, no water aerobics, no bands if it caused even the slightest bit of strain on my stomach. Right now even walking hurts but it helps too.

I hope everyone is doing good. I am going to try to be better about posting. Thanks, Christine
