UNTILL ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO I WAS OK AS FAR AS ADOMINAL PAIN... THEN I
DEVELOPED A HERNIA IN THE UMBILLICAL AREA AND IT TOOK MONTS AND MONTHS
TO DISCOVER THIS... THEN THEY DISCOVERED THAT MY GALL BLADDER HAD JUST
UP AND DIED SO I UNDERWENT SURGERY LAPROSCOPIC.. ONCE I HAD THAT DONE
IS WHEN I STARTED WITH ALL OF THE STOMACH SWELLING AND FEELING AS THOUGH
I WAS 9 MONTHS PREGNANT.. TO NO AVAIL AND AN HMO I WENT THROUGH MONTHS
AND MONTHS OF AGAONY... STILL NO AVAIL... WENT THROUGH EXPLORATORY
SURGERY AND FOUND MASSIVE SCAR TISSUE IN ABDOMIN AND HERNIA WAS FIXED...
AT THE END OF ALL OF THIS I HAVE MORE PROBLEMS THAN EVER BEFORE AND NOW

THE STOMACH... HA...
