A member asked:
Can you ever bench press again after recurrent hernia surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk vs. benefit: You can but it would a lot wiser to limit what amount that you lift. Heavy lifting could create a problem and since you've had hernias before, it's a risk versus benefit situation. Probably not worth big weights. Best to go with lighter weights and more repetitions.
