THIS SOUNDS TERRIBLE! WHEN THEY DID MY HERNIA REPAIR IN MARCH-9 HERNIAS-THEY FOUND MASSIVE DENSE ADHESIONS AND TRIED TO REMOVE THEM. THIS WAS THE 6 OR7-CANT REMEMBER-TIME THEY WENT IN TO REMOVE ADHESIONS. 5 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL THEN RELEASES BUT RETURNED 3 DAYS LATER FOR ADHESIONS BLOCKING MY URETER. ITS BEEN 5 MONTHS NOW AND I THINK THE HERNIA PROBLEM IS FIXED FOR NOW BUT I HAVE PAIN FROM THIS ADHESION AROUND MY LIVER. I CAN'T LAY ON MY LEFT SIDE WITHOUT IT HURTING ALL THE TIME AND SOMETIMES WHEN I LAY ON MY RIGHT SIDE IT HURTS. THEN I MAY GO DAYS WITH NO PAIN ONLY TO HAVE IT ACT UP AGAIN. I TRY TO ENJOY THE GOOD DAYS. I'VE APPLIED FOR DISABILITY AND HOPE TO HEAR SOMETHING SOON.
