Dec 3, 2015 at 17:40 comment added Yasha That's write I am not claiming that, so everything depends on the geometry of $(X,g)$. I would also be interested in the version of the question with $f$, (also depending on geometry) but it is not essential and probably too complicated.
Dec 3, 2015 at 16:53 comment added Robert Bryant I see that you have removed the function $f$ and replaced it by $\epsilon$ and $\delta$. That changes the question completely. You now aren't claiming (are you?) that $\delta$ can be chosen in terms of $\epsilon$ without regard to the geometry of $X$.

Dec 3, 2015 at 16:27 comment added Yasha In your example there is a lower bound on the volume for embeddings in the class of $\Sigma \times \{1\} \subset X$, so how can it be a counterexample?

Dec 3, 2015 at 16:10 comment added Robert Bryant And what about $(X,g)$? If you take $X = \Sigma\times S^1$ and let $g$ be a product metric (for some metric on $\Sigma$), then $\Sigma\times\{1\}\subset X$ is totally geodesic (and embedded to boot), so the mean curvature is identically $0$, and yet there obviously is no relationship between the diameter of $\Sigma$ (and hence it's diameter in $X$) and its volume.

Dec 3, 2015 at 15:50 comment added Yasha Yes sorry I meant everything to be compact without boundary of course, I edited to say closed.

Dec 3, 2015 at 15:37 comment added Robert Bryant You really need to sharpen your question: For example, are you only considering compact surfaces $\Sigma$ without boundary? Are you making any hypotheses on the ambient Riemannian manifold $(X,g)$? Without some hypotheses such as these, it is hopeless to prove any such estimate, since counterexamples are easily constructed.
