Mary,

I don't know anything about the affect of exercise on your adhesions, but wanted to let you know that your adhesions stopped forming about 2 weeks after your last surgery...unless you had some type of abdominal infection or trauma. No new adhesions form after that point...they do however continue to strengthen.

Welcome and God Bless!
