What happens during a full TT if I have adhesions from old C-section?

MphsMom
Healthy, age 50, 5' 6", 128#. Had C-section 1997. Hoping TT will remove excess fat & improve muscle strength. I think I may have adhesions as I get pain along C-section scar line with any lower ab exercises during and after that lasts for days to the point I must avoid them. Also have lower back pain due to poor ab muscle tone. Wearing ab girdle helps, so hoping TT will solve both issues, but concerned what happens during surgery & if risks are increased due to adhesions? Thanks.
