I had the nissen surgery with hiatal hernia repair done on Feb 18th of this year - Does anyone know when it is safe to start doing yoga/pilates type exercises again? I am just nervous I don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks!

Sarah,

I think that may depend on the individual person and what your physician recommends. Others will be by to answer your question soon.

Sarah-
After both of my Nissens I was told to wait 6 to 8 weeks before doing any heavy lifting and such. I would say you are well past the point of having to worry if anything will happen. Might want to confirm it with your surgeon, but from what I was told you should be good to go.

Take care,
Bill
