Hey all. This is Presenttensed, NYVeggie's boyfriend. NY's surgery went very well. The Dr was able to do it all laparoscopically and they were able to examine the bowel through a 4cm incision by the...
Hey ChrisnSteph. If they are able to do it laparoscopically, you'll definitely be going home the same day. I had a triple hernia surgery done laparoscopically in March. I remember an article my Dr....
Hey Misterkatamari. Just as a side note... if you ever happen to go to the ER for these kind of symptoms, don't just get an EKG. An EKG can appear normal even if there is something happening. Make...
