Question:
Six weeks ago had incisional hernia repair....Exercising?

Just curious as to what kind of exercising individuals are doing after having an incisional hernia repair? My Surgeon repaired it with mesh, it was a pretty large hernia. I just don't want to cause any damage or have a reoccurence. Thanx    — chance2lv (posted on April 1, 2002)

I was okayed to do cardio workout for 6-8 weeks post op. Then I went back to weight training but avoided abdominal exercises til I was about 12 weeks post op. You should not have a recurrence with the mesh. I have a mesh over my entire rny incision line and am doing a regular workout now with nothing off limits.
