If you like what you're reading, please consider subscribing and or sharing at weightandhealthcare.com. One of the more complex situations that I often get asked to write about or ask to help advocate for is hernia repair in higher weight people.

This situation can be quite complicated and a lot depends on the person, their specific condition, and their situation.

The goal of this three-part series is to offer a starting point for discussion and advocacy.

In part one, we'll look at some of the basics around hernia repair in general.

In part two, we'll look at the issues with the common weight loss recommendations that higher weight patients get.
