hi,

Hope you find some peace with your back pain problems.

Not sure if you're talking about the surgery where they go into the front of your stomach to do the repair. If so, the two I know that had that done didn't fair too well with that approach. I guess it's a Duke's mixture of things, if you have a good outcome or not.

It's hard to tell someone not to have surgery, not knowing you or your medical problems, and not being a surgeon, but I'm scared of new techniques. Not the old techniques work well for all.

It's tough when you have pain, to reason out what you need to do.

Back pain is miserable pain. I do understand that.

I pray you find some peace...
