Walking can be done as much as you want within days of surgery.
Jogging, cycling, and swimming should be delayed for a few weeks
. gym exercise and weight lifting can be started about 2-3 months after surgery
size of your hernia, what type of surgery is performed, your weight, and your comfort, all should be taken into consideration.
There is no common advice regarding exercise in this group of patients.And hence you should discuss with your surgeon after surgery during the follow-up.
This group of patients is more likely to have a recurrence and hence it is advisable to exercise caution
