In 2007 I had a giant fibroid that took up my abdomen & pushed my intestines through my diaphragm into my chest. When they removed it they took my ovary, my appendix, & told me to see a surgeon right away for the diaphragm repair as they couldn’t fix it when they did the removal as they put me to sleep twice that day, once to evaluate via endoscopy & then to do the removal. They also said I had another growth on my other ovary, but it was only 3cm so they left it. In 9 months that growth grew to 9cm & I was given a total hysterectomy. The surgeon I met with immediately after the first surgery stated I was too young for hernia surgery & started me on PPIs instead of fixing the structural issue. I spent the next several years with ulcers & illness until I was finally given a nissen fundaplication as my stomach was in my chest. They found barrett’s esophagus during this procedure and sent me for radiation ablation, (told 6 burns, given 50). This caused an esphogeal stricture & the surgery to fail. After 11 dialtions I was able to swallow again but still require dialtions regularly. The nissen fundaplication was repaired as well but unfortunately failed two more times, (3 total nissen fundaplications, all failed) I’m now inoperable with dense adhesions, I’m sick everyday & disabled from the pain, nausea. & digestive issues I have daily. I believe my life would be completely different if they were allowed to treat everything they knew was wrong with me when it was all known in 2007 when I had the giant fibroid removed. Had they removed the additional growth they found & repaired the diaphragm I believe I wouldnt have suffered all these years & wouldn’t be disabled today. Please don’t let anymore people become profit for the health industry with the step process. Thank you!
