I had my TT and hernia repair last year. Since I have a rather

large mesh sheet in there since then, I think that I may be

different than someone who just had a TT. I tried to do situps, but

had some problems. I continued to try through out the year, but it

hasn't gotten 100% better. I can do them, but usually end

up " itching " under the upper end of my mesh. I found that walking

and holding my tummy in has helped strenthen my muscles close to or

as well as sit ups. YMMV!

tummy tucks and then went on to do sit-ups to strengthen your

tummy. Did you have any difficulty or did you find you had to

modify your situps or exercises at all? I sometimes end up with

major " charlie horse " type feeling to the right of my surgery scar

when I try to do situps. Is this common? Thanks in advance for

your thoughts and advice.

responded to my diet soda question. I am keeping an eye on things

right now and will keep everyone informed if I do end up being

diagnosed with an ulcer, acid reflux or fistula. Thanks again

people, you are the greatest.

I had my Origional TT and hernia repair Oct of 02. I had a 2nd hernia

repair in July of 03. I can do sit-ups but find that it makes the abs

really buldge out. Not very attractive. I guess it is where they plicated

the muscles. The exercise is still a little ouchy when I get to my 3rd rep

or so. I've never pushed it past that point. I don't really want to build

these muscles very much because of the buldge.

ok, you have my attention. What do you mean, your abs bulge? when I do crunches

or lift my legs up for pilates, I have a bulge right there in the middle also.

I don't think it's a hernia. I have had those before. So, explain some more,

please.

When the doc did my surgery, he plicated the muscles in my abd. This is

like a french seam on a pair of jeans. Kind of a double fold. I think this

is why those muscles bulge when they are flexed. I sure don't want to

encourage this bulging, it looks yucky.
