I never had a flat stomach so I can't answer that one- I did try to get it better than it was, but after 2 pregnancies and being opened up 7 times through the same scar, I really don't have the muscles left anymore. Sit ups or stomach crunches should be fine, though check with your surgeon before you start any type of exercise. Good luck, Darolyn!

Our search function might help - at the upper right of the page. I plugged in 'exercise' and got over 1000 posts in which others have mentioned the topic, but you'd have to read thru to see which ones give more specific advice.
