A member asked:

Had hernia repair with mesh 4 months ago. started gym a week ago and i got almost 0 pains in that area. is it safe to try lifting heavier weights?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be fine: Activity after hernia repair is usually "as tolerated". Furthermore, at fou months, the scar tissue is over 90% of its ultimate strength. Don't hesitate to call your surgeon i there are any problems, or questions about your specific case.
