I've been having some issues since my hernia operation in July. After taking a month off to rest, I went back to work in September, but now, a few months later, I'm feeling pain again in the same spot where the mesh was placed. Could it be because of extra work or maybe the cold weather affecting it? What should I do about this?

my aunt is scheduled for laparoscopic gallstone removal surgery tomorrow at 4 pm can she have something light like biscuits at 7 am or does she need to stay on an empty stomach until after the surgery

No, your aunt should not eat anything at 7 am. For laparoscopic gallstone removal surgery, patients typically need to be NPO (nothing by mouth) for a specific period before the procedure, usually around 6 hours. Since her surgery is scheduled for 4 pm, she will likely need to stop eating and drinking well before 7 am. It's crucial to follow the specific instructions provided by her surgeon and the hospital about fasting times.
