I am a 60 year old women athlete. I completed a 1/2 ironman in May . I have a small umbilical hernia. There is no pain, but when run my hand across by stomach above my belly button, it sticks out. My doctor wants to "keep an eye on it" and check it again in 3 months. Can I continue with weight training, swimming, running, and bicycle riding? The doctor seemed extremely vague about what training I could continue. Is there anything I can do to keep from having surgery?
My husband had the surgery many years ago and he did just fine. You will have to take it easy for awhile though.

Several factors are responsible for hernia such as a sudden unexpected lifting of heavy item, raised intra-abdominal pressure in women during pregnancy and childbirth and laxity of abdominal wall muscles due to multiple pregnancies, sedentary life style, and lack of physical exercise.

Anyway my question is has anyone had a surgery other than the nissen fundo to repair the hernia. I am interested in having mine fixed but do NOT want my stomach wrapped around my esophagus. I'd like for a surgeon to just go in and pull the stomach to its proper position and sew up the hole in the diaphram essentially returning everything to its natural order.
If factors like straining activities, constipation etc persist, then they enlarge faster. Surgery is the treatment opted for when the size is large and hernia is symptomatic. Having said that, I would also say that the earlier it is repaired, the better it is. There are belts available for umbilical and paraumbilical hernias which you can wear to minimize pressure on the hernia.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
