Sit-ups after hernia?

[cfreeman03]

I had an umbilical hernia (from a previous lapro surgery) repaired almost 10 weeks ago. I was told to wait the usual 6-8 weeks before resuming normal activity. I am looking forward to starting workouts again, but I am wary. Am I okay to start (easing into) ab exercises again, given that the time has elapsed? Or should I avoid them?

If it helps, yes, a mesh was placed and the repair was standard, not lapro.
