Frustr8 7,886 Posted August 6, 2018 No the ones I have heard were abdominal and gynecological, and also for urinary suspension. And I can cite an occurance in my own family, my daddy's family has floating in it HHT, PCP doesn't want to give it credence,butbtoo many brain bleeds and weird bleeding problems to be a coincidence. My Daddy had an arteriovenous anomaly in his colon, knew he was have reoccurent blood loss, our pee-poor local band-aid station of a community hospital was mystified. Ended up in Grant Hospital where they removed 26 inches of colon and stiched him up meshed also, well something went wrong because he healed with a ventral hernia, since,he was in late70-early80s they refused to give him any further surgery, Said "Cliff just live with it" and he did, nasty looking thing, encouraged him not to go shirtless, you could see the internal dehisinance, all that was holding his intestines in was the mesh. He was told if he continued driving NEVER wear a seatbelt,instead if he saw a collision coming roll to the side and onto the floorboards, less chance of rupture that way. And that is why I had a right paramedian instead of a subcostal for my gallbladder/ appendix removal . My surgeon wanted palpate my colon to see if there was anything he could find. Would have preceded a subcostal Mama's healed to a thin white .line. A somwhat humorous FYI when I met Dr Needleman I would prefer an " open" to him aborting my,laprascopic RnY for any reason. He called me by my birthname, I have a perfectly lovely one that isn't Frustr8, We do 99.9% surgeries as "laps" Do You b really want to heal from an abdominal wound? I flipped up my t-shirt, it runs 3 inches above and 3 inches below just slightly to the right of my navel. He gave a rueful laugh and said " Point well-taken, I WILL remember that!" Valerie the Nurse-Practioner said the score was ME1 Surgeon 0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
