Can i carry on with activities like sailing , jogging and joga one or two weeks after a hernia surgery in my abdomen?

Depends: Depends on the type of hernia and the type of repair. I usually tell patients with a laparoscopic hernia repair to return to normal activities as tolerated by pain. After some types of abdominal wall reconstruction, i tell patients to limit heavy abdonal straining for 6 weeks. Check with your surgeon to be sure for your case. Good luck!
