I am doing well

I am doing well not really any pain. Hernia Center of Florida is where I went.
I am now having pain on the other side. I can't feel a hernia and they said I probably have one.

I will be at a restaurant seminal in Las Vegas in Sept. and may have this repaired by Dr. Kevin Petersen. I know some others who have been there and they had great success. So even though I had success with an open surgery mesh repair, I just want to experience both kinds. Dr. Petersen was one person that spent a lot of time with me on the phone. Based on what he said, it is probably better to repair smaller hernias that cannot be seen with stitches. He uses a McVay repair.

All the surgeons at the Hernia Center of Florida appear to be excellent so I am not hesitating to go back there.

I will keep everyone posted.

Everyone tip your waitress this coming 4th if you go out to eat.

P.S.

Has anyone been to the Olive Garden lately? My wife and kids went there Friday night and it was very good. I really don't go for the super fancy restaurants when I eat out, I just like a good clean nice place that's fun.

Some of you may remember Mr. Steak. It just turns out, a former CEO who owned most of it came to our restaurant the other day. I recognized him from a trade magazine. I do remember that in the late 70's, in Utah, Arizona and Nevad, some of the same people tried to open an upscale "City Jail" restaurant chain. It never took off. I think these CEO's were really stealing money from the corporation in the form of excessive bonuses.

Hi Restaurant Man, I am happy everything went well for you. I have looked into Dr. Petersen myself and feel the same way about smaller occult hernias. Should they be repaired with mesh vs "stitches"?

Dr. Petersen in LV is one of the few "stitch" surgeons left. This does not mean his technique is invalid.

I don't hear anyone complain about the Shouldice center.

Think CEO"S STEALING MONEY FROM CORPORATION????

July 12 2009, 8:06 AM 

SO whats, new about that??? Not to be rude. Insurance companies do that on daily bases. You ought to watch a movie out on the health care system by Michael Moore, titled "SICKO", this was out two years ago but been aired on tv quit alot, dealing with insurance companies denial of people like us and others that have a recurrence of health issues. on 07/11/09 Saturday morning sitting here reading e-mail and drinking cup of coffee ,this one e-mail was of importance, I opened it. It was a day late,but of interest value. on Friday night on most PBS channels Bill Moyers Journal was on,his guest speaker was the former Vise Pesident, Wendell Potter, of the 4th largest insurance company CIGNA, I missed it Friday night but got the chance to see it early Sunday morning at 4:00 am, he admitted that insurance companies are scaming people that have insurance willing to pay higher premimums, for recuurrnce of things like hernia's etc.... but like many posting that people post they can not choose themselves as to who does the surgery or as where the person wants to have it done at. It's called staying within their area net work??? It's FRAUD. All insurance is. Think about it, You have a insurance company that is nation wide like blue cross, Aenta, State Farm etc... Why cann't that one policy cover you from one state to another??? Why cann't health coverage work on the base's of a credit card or Atm debit card???They are good from one state to another. but then again their might be hiden taxes or charges we don't think about, as to where you might pay higher taxes, on purchase, if you go out of your home area. Example Fl. doesn't have tax on food but in Alabama they do. So I guess you got pay the extra no matter what.. site that you see this at..http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/about/airdates.html http://www.pbs.org/moyers we all can sit here in front of computer and research until blue in the face, nothing going to change, doctors can only use what FDA?CDC will allow them to. Why?? because Wall Street Ivestors control the profitts off from insurance companies, and if insurance companies don't make money off from you, investors don't make money. so next ave is dumb the people that are costing pay out's. people like us with recurrence... with no cure... This comment was on the show ( 8-million people were denied by Aenta, but but afterwards Aentas Wall Street Value went UP. Wendell Potter went on to say money is made off of sick people. while Wall Stret Investors have what is called medical lost ratio with insurance companies.... I think that the heat and the blinder are now coming off since the airing of Barb Walters 20/20 showing of people of the Appalachian Mountains. Even though with high rate of unemployed, whats going to happen to them families as well... new it's in America, the pie has hit us in the face. Other countries are now looking down their noses a as a third nation with helth crisses.

Upcoming Las Vegas Convention

July 11 2009, 1:13 AM 

I am still doing well from surgery at the Hernia Institute in Florida. You can easily google their website.
Now, what's wrong! PAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE!! I had some doctors say there is a hernia, others say there isn't.
I did not want the Hernia Institute in Florida (where doctor Gilbert is- but really doesn't operate) to do an exploratory. They did suggest I had an occult hernia. I did some watching and waiting but the pain is the same.
I will be visiting Dr. Kevin Petersen in Las Vegas to get a "stitch" repair as I feel these smaller hernias are best handled by "stitching"- not mesh. I liked Dr. Petersen's website and did talk to him on the phone. Our restaurant convention/seminar will be held in LV in Sept. and I am planning on getting there a few days early in case I have surgery there.

And boy what a busy week. As you know I cook at one of the finer restaurants here in Florida and business has really picked up!! Don't know why, but maybe everyone is taking vacation all at once. The kids want to go back to Disney World again and my wife is working overtime.

For Dr. Goodyear and everyone reading this, "The tracks are tight....the switch is locked...." What will you do?
If you can't figure this out Dr.Goodyear, just tip your waitress and appreciate the good food when you have a nice sit down meal. Thanks to the author John A. Thompson
