Pancreas transplant in 2005 & enteric conversion surgery in 2006. In the years that followed I noticed a golf ball size/shape bump at the bottom of the incisions. I was told that it was an incisional hernia fairly common with abdominal surgeries. I was told it could be repaired but might just perpetuate the problem. It was best to leave it alone unless it changed in size or shape or caused pain. That is what I did until I developed a painful bowel blockage that I initially attributed to the hernia. The bowel blockage was dealt with and the hernia was repaired with a mesh (2012). I never really gave exercise much thought. (I hardly ever do anyway!) I like to walk, swim and sometimes use a stationary bike. After I’ve had any kind of surgery I typically ask about any restrictions (activity, eating, driving …etc.) to be aware of and for how long. My husband & I discovered some video workouts offered by Apple Fitness Plus that we like to do. There is a variety of workouts for all fitness levels, ages, types and times. We are currently doing stuff for beginners/ older adults that is about 10 - 15 minutes a day. We’ve tried sessions for core, strength, balance, stretching, flexibility, yoga, dance …. plus cool down sessions for breathing and meditation.
