How long after a laparoskopic inguinal hernia surgery with mesh, is it safe to squat, bend over,push a stroller or lift? i am with a toddler at home.

Post-op lifting: It is best to check with your individual doctor who did the surgery to see if thee were any specifics to your case that would limit these things. But in general for laproscopic surgery with mesh placement, you should avoid these things for 6 weeks post-op.
