A member asked:
I have a exercise waist band is that a bad idea to work out with it even six weeks after my umbilical hernia surgery.

Six weeks: Is usually enough time for adequate healing from hernia surgery for regular work outs. But a lot depends on size of hernia, local findings at operation, integrity of repair, etc. Ask your surgeon for specific recommendations.
