The surgery is too high risk, he said it will be a tough operation and I would be in worst shape after than now…. Problem is if I do nothing the hernia can cut off the blood supply in my intestines and the adhesions can do the same on my organs…. If I have the operation, there is a very high risk for complications to occur….. I will wait till I hear from Shands, go see them to see what they say…. Reminder, Shands turned me away back in 2010, saying there is nothing they can do. This Doc thinks now that I have a possible incarcerated hernia, they MAY try to go in now….. Time will tell all…All I have to say is I am really getting tired of fighting this…. So far it has been a week and I have not heard from Shands yet…. But there is a lot more to the story.

I suspect that "there is a lot more to the story" indeed.... All the best to you, and yes, since you posted these details, please do post also how things work out. Thank you.
