A member asked:
Two weeks after my umbilical hernia repair my stomach seems a bit high can i wear a belly band since i can't do any exercise right now.

Bad idea: "belly bands" are a bad idea in general, and especially after surgery. Nobody should use them!

No.: 2 weeks is early to start exercising after this type of hernia repair. Talk to your doctor about this.
