My question is a two-parter. I'm an avid weightlifter and have a muscular build with about 12-13% body fat. I'm scheduled for laparoscopic repair of a ventral hernia 5 weeks from now. Would it be better to lower my BF% before surgery or does it really make a difference? I was able to go back to my regular lifting routine after my first and only abdominal surgery 4 weeks after the surgery. I worried that the mesh will take longer than 4 weeks to fully adhere. Is it possible to have a 4 week recovery and start back at the gym with my usual routine? Thanks!
