date of operation was on: 03/05/2004 Preoperative Diagnosis: recurrent Incision Hernia Operation: Repair of the recurrent Incision Hernia using "Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch" 4.3 x 4.3 cm. Surgeon: C. J. SHIEN, MD Also was seen on 11/15/2012 at Kaiser by : Moody, Samuel P MD (emergency room) when there last Nov although I was seen because of not running a high fever at that time could not be admitted, but was told the patch seemed to be faulty. Also my own doctor in Oroville,CA in last Nov said same thing and was referred to the surgeon who you are now in contact with (This is being set up by my daughter and was a message to her) but did not have the time because of my return flight date. Also last year had 3 episodes to where I was very ill and would be treated with very strong antibiotics and systems would subside after a week or so, and have a doctor Kenneth Nino T. Alcoseba ,RMT,M.D.,DFM from the Philippines recommending this be surgically treated. I do have recurring episodes every so often with very tenderness at area of the hernia and at the bulge of the hernia is very apparent of defect in the patch, when this happens I always get antibolics to treat it until it calms down. the 3 times it did act up left me bed ridden for at least 5 days with high fever and hot and cold chills and weight loss of 10 to 15 pounds in just a 5 day period with nausea.
