How to reduce stomach and what care to be taken for post operation of harmia?

Abdominal issues: I think you touched on two separate issues - stomach and hernia. I am not sure what you mean by reducing the size of the stomach. Are you trying to lose weight? Bariatric surgery involves modifying the anatomy of the stomach often reducing its size but it's done for the sole purpose of weight loss. As far as hernia, depends on what hernia that is and what surgery is used to correct it.
