Abdominal swelling?
So I met the new doctter and I really like him and feel comfortable with him. I find him to have a lot experience and seems competent. He felt the hernia upon palpation. I told him i think I feel something coming on the left too. Although he did not feel it or see anything on the MRI he will check once he goes in. We will be doing a laporoscopic TEP procedure and placing a mesh. My GYN will ask be there so he can take a peek after the hernia repair and pop into the abdomen to check for adhesions. this doctor doesn’t think there should be endometriosis but doesn’t hurt to have my GYN surgeon there with him looking things over.
I’m doing my pre admission testing on Monday and surgery will be this Thursday.
There were going to do it after Halloween but I told them I couldn’t wait like this anymore. They happened to have a cancellation so I took it.
I did a lot of questioning with regard to his experience and addressed all my fears and concerns. We were both on the same page. I am confident that he will provide me with the best surgery.
I can’t wait to get some relief!
