 [ Symptoms ] i am diagonsed with umbilical hernia will it be possible for me to workout in gym after surgery [ Disease ] that is up to your doctor i mean eventually you should be able to work out again the question is how long you will have to wait so many factors go into informing a doctor is decision about this if it is a small simple umbilical hernia that is easy to fix then the wait may be shorter if it is a large more complicated surgery then the wait may be longer i would suggest you discuss the issue of recovery and working out at the gym with your surgeon before you have surgery that way you can be prepared for what the future may hold wishing you well
