A member asked:
For what reasons might an abdominal hernia make me gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It won't: A hernia is essentially a hole in the muscle layer if the abdominal wall through which intra-abdominal contents can protrude. This by itself does not have any impact on weight gain. If there is intestine trapped in it and causing pain made worse by eating, it can be associated with weight loss however.
