Re: Partial Blockage Last Night :-(

Hi Jodi,

That really sucks about the scarring :-(. I'll be sure to ask my surgeon about

incisional hernia and laproscopy. I think I need to write out a list of things

to ask, so I don't forget!

I have a fat flabby tummy. If I need surgery, maybe I better try harder to get

it in better shape!

while for scar tissue to form. Not all people with scar tissue get bothered-

that's another thing.. they are completely ok.

abdominal muscles (I'm like flabby as I haven't really worked out in years- a

major goal of mine.. I try a bit here and there post surgery- YAY but it makes

the incisional hernia worse) Ask about what they do to avoid incisional hernia.

I wish I knew about this and made a stink. Despite flabbyness I always had a

flat belly. Now I have a bulge that is my personal cup holder. I hate it!
