Thank you! Since my transplant, I often wonder if I’m overthinking issues with the changes in my body. It is comforting to be able to connect with others that have experienced the same things that I have and put myself at ease.

I will continue with Pilates and until my core strength improves, I’ll have the instructor modify the more strenuous activities for me.

Been doing Pilates for 3 weeks, 2x week and have noticed “small” improvements to my abdomen workout. Just don’t want to damage the repair

@patricia30, I don't think that it is possible for us to overthink issues after we have experienced an organ transplant!
How long ago was your hernia surgery? Is the bulge painful or uncomfortable? I have heard of some patients who like to wear supportive under garments. I just offer that as an idea.

You are wise to modify the more strenuous activities as you have indicated.
It sounds like Pilates is working for you. What small improvements are you noticing?
