Tram flap and hernia repair

Tram flap and hernia repair

2004 I had tram flap reconstruction on my left side.  2007 hernia repair and problems for most of 2 yrs since.  I just had a second surgery which found out I had a second hernia.  Now I am reading some articles about exercising to build strength in this area to help with hernia problem.  Nothing was ever said to me about exercising, but could you direct me to someplace that would give me exercises.  I have been doing something similar to Yoga for several years, but have had some discomfort on that side when exercising.  Any suggestion to avoid another hernia would be very helpful.

Lori.

Dear Lori:  We recommend that you check with your surgeon regarding recommendations for exercise as he/she knows what has been done and any restrictions as a result.  He/she may refer you to a physical therapist to get started.
