Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Wow. That is some story. I will have Dr. Baggs myself. I heard he was very good. O well. I also have a hernia which they will fix with a self absorbing mesh during this surgery . This mesh will not give me infections.\, they say. Who knows, I may have to have regular surgery too as I have scar tissue from a gall bladder operation which they could not do laproscopically either, it was so inflamed. Well, I will save your input and I will read it again if bad things happen to me. I so appreciate your telling me all this. I need to be mentally prepared for anything. Thanks so much. I am glad you are still happy, too with the surgery. 170 pounds! Wow! I don't know how much I will lose but I am not there yet to think about it. Thanks again, Lilka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Lilka I had Dr Baggs and he's wonderful. I was told I probably would have to have open because of all my previous surgeries, and a bad infection from one where I almost died and I had 8 drains inside me which caused lots of scare tissue. Dr Baggs said he would start with 2 holes and see, he was able to work around all my scare tissue by giving me 2 extra holes. Didn't most of you get 5 or 6 holes? I got 8 but it was lap, so you just never know. He did this for me especially since I am allergic to staples and had already really bad experiences with infection and almost death. He gives it his all for every one, you got a great surgeon. All will be fine. Take care. DonnaLilka wrote: Wow. That is some story. I will have Dr. Baggs myself. I heard he was very good. O well.
