4 wks since my csection & i'm planning to wait 8 -9 wks before i start working out with lifting weights and cross fit. will i get a hernia?

No Guarantee: Lifting weights after surgery can increase your risk of hernia. Incisions take a full 6 months to heal completely. I suggest that you wait for 6 months.
