 [ Symptoms ] my surgeon said he saw two small hernias on my ct and wants to repair them what are your thoughts  i have seen post on the internet that says small hernias may never grow or be harmful in ones lifetime [ Disease ] first off if you are thinking the thoughts you mentioned in your question seek help from a mental health professional without knowing how much and what you are eating it is tough to say why you are not losing weight while eating healthy is good total calories are key to bringing weight down i highly recommend you see a registered dietitian he or she will work with you on your current diet changing habits that caused the weight gain and individualizing it all to your lifestyle and preferences you can find a dietitian in your area at eatright org research also shows that body dissatisfaction and being hard on yourself is linked to weight gain over time as tough as it be try to think more kindly towards your struggles and your body practicing self care and self compassion are important but overlooked factors in successfully managing health and weight hang in there
