Is it easier to lose weight after having a hernia repaired?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably yes: Because you can exercise more and burn calories that you would otherwise not. But only indirectly.

Lose before: Better to lose your weight before the surgery in order to have better results.
