Exercise after hernia surgery

In 2009 March I have undergone an open  surgery for Hernia. After that I have not done any exercise and   fat is deposited in my midriff and stomach. Please advise whether I can  use Sauna Belt with vibrator for reducing the stomach and fat deposited around midriff.

Hello!

Get yourself checked by your primary surgeon.

If the site of operation is fine and also the wound and scar has healed as desired start walking and jogging in a slow and progressive way.

There are many exercises in sitting and sleeping posture which you can learn near a physiotherapist and practice.

Do not do any exercises which increase your abdominal pressure.

Take care!

My opinion is those belts don't work! First ask your MD if it's ok to use.
