Will abdominal exercise pre-op lessen the poss. of a hernia?

My insurer will only approve Open RNY and I'm concerned about the risk of having a hernia. Will doing abdominal exercies to strengthen muscles help minimize the risk of having a hernia? (On the other hand, if I get a hernia, it would go a long way towards getting a semi-free TT he he)
