Thanks for asking to Healthcaremagic.If i were your treating physician,would not suggest you to do heavy workouts and weight lifting as you might have got anatomical musculo-aponeurotic layer weakness since birth according to your history.Mild to moderate exercises are preferred.Better to consult with the surgeon if possible who did the surgery.Hope i answered your query.
