Hey David,

What kind of ventral hernia did you have (and where was it located?) and how was it repaired?

You are two weeks post-op, so I would say that while you're probably recovering well, there's still a risk of re-herniation for a few more weeks yet (especially if you're increasing intra-abdominal pressure with lifts and even "deconditioned" planks). Bill's recommendation has more to do with joint injury prevention than a global activity criteria.
