Hi I Have Been Lifting Weights For Years And I

Hi I have been lifting weights for years and I have a hernia above my belly button. I got a ultra sound and waiting for minor surgery. It does not hurt and the ultra sound guy said it doesn't look like its protruding so is it possible to work out? My doctor gave me two options and 1 was to monotorit and other was surgery. I'm really hoping I can train through this up until the surgery because it is my therapy. Thanks for your help.
