I had a whipple 2 1/2 years ago I have a fitness class I need to take for college and we did abdominal exercises. After those my stomach has been soar and hurting. I have a slight pain in the middle where my incision is at. Should I stop those exercises??
HI. Whipple is a very major surgery and the integrity of the abdominal wall is not supposed to be as good as it should be without surgery. The scar tissue will not get the strength as before, hence it is advisable not to have vigorous exercises. Stop the exercises and get checked by a General Surgeon for development of hernia or so. You can later start the graduated exercises only if your Surgeon permits.
