I know some of you guys have had umbilical hernias but has anyone had diastasis recti to go alone with it? I saw the doctor about the hernia but he also said I have diastasis. I do have a split and the "football" that pops out if I do a crunch. He said he could fix the hernia and I could be ok as long as I'm not too active. Since the muscle above the mesh for the hernia is split and weak the mess may not hold and it would most likely blow again. The doctor referred me to another surgeon who does hernia and diastasis repairs. I just made an appointment to see him. I've never had any surgery before and this is kind of scaring me. What I thought was going to be somewhat minor surgery and recovery is turning out to be more major with a long recovery period. So I was wondering if anyone has had diastasis surgery. I was told I could be in the hospital for 2-3 days or possibly up to a week. How long was the recovery period and how soon did you get back to the weights. Any restrictions as far as heavy lifting goes? I certainly won't rush anything but sure hope I can train hard again some day.
Thanks,
Max
