What Causes Excessive Weight Loss After A Hernia Surgery?
My GF is 52 years old, she had hernia surgery back on feb 12th at that time her weight was about 170 lbs. now she is down to 142 lbs, is this normal, I know her dr said her hernia was pushing against her stomach so before surgery she couldnt eat as much. But now she is continuing lossing weight. Her weight loss is all over her body, not just in any one location.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hernia may push her stomach to cause early satiety so lesser eating is advised. In this way, her weight should increase when her problem is solved.
So, visit doctor to get complete examination and to know the cause of weight loss.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
