Good morning from Canada
I had what started out as a golf ball sized hernia along my lower incision line. My surgery line is from sternum to hip. Looks like an upside down hockey stick. It started out small like a golf ball. I waited a year for my surgery because it was considered elective when they actually went in and repaired the hernia. It had ripped the entire surgical line. I had to have complete rebuild of everything inside and no I cannot lift anything over 20 lb and I can't gain more than 20 lb in weight or it'll rip open again. I found the post hernia surgery recovery way way worse than the transplant surgery.
