losing weight is better for the surgery, sometimes they have to put in a mesh also. the best known place in the world for hernia repair is here in ontario north of toronto called sholdice clinic. my friends uncle was one of the guys that perfected the process that they have. people go there from all over the world.

I realise that losing weight would help the surgery, but she was making it out that the hernia was due to weight!! She must have fallen off the cabbage truck

I've had three of those darn things, and I think I'm on my fourth, but it doesn't bother me that much, so I haven't done anything about it. Hey s/m, maybe you ought to tell her to spend a little more time down there just to make sure . Oh well, w/my last two they did use the mesh to patch things up. She should not have said there is nothing they can do.
Good luck, and you should get another opinion, I've never heard a doctor say that there is nothing he/she can do about a hernia.

My neighbor just had the surgery, he's doing pretty good, it was the size of a small bastketball the day before the surgery. Of coarse, he is in his 50s and I'm sure your in your 20s

went to the doctor today and was diagnosed with a hernia(abdominal)!! Doc said that there is nothing i can do but lose weight, that will help my condition. She is out of her mind!!!Some days it is really bad, feels like a kick in the you know what and other days i am fine!! Everyone i have talked to told me that yes losing weight is a good thing(duh) but has not much to do with a hernia! Anybody else had any expierience with a hernia and what they have done to correct it? 
???
