I had 3 Abdominal wall hernias, one wich caused a strangulation of the bowel.I was in the hospital for a week to relieve the strangulation and then a month later had hernia repair with goretex mesh. A month later I developed an abcess at one of the hernia sites and had another surgery to remove that piece of goretex.My Dr., The IC Dr. and the IME all agree that I am at MMI and cannot lift more than 10 lbs, no repetetive bending or squatting.After all that I have read on this forum I do feel fortunate to be getting out of this system quickly.
