I've been dealing with some discomfort and weight gain since my laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia about 3.5 months ago. I often feel pain where the hernia was and sometimes there's this stretching sensation near the stitches. I'm really looking for some advice on how to lose this extra weight and I'm also curious about when these symptoms might ease up. What would you suggest?

My 72-year-old dad is having hernia surgery on his left side since that's the more problematic side right now. The doctor plans to only operate on the left for now will the other side likely need surgery soon after, or can it be managed without another operation?

If your dad‚Äôs hernia surgery is successful on the left side, the right side may not necessarily require surgery soon. It will depend on how the left side heals and if the right side worsens over time.

I've been diagnosed with gallbladder stones a month ago - they're 10mm, 11mm, and 13mm in size.

Is gallbladder surgery my best option at this point?
