My surgeon tells me you can't get a reversal after four years. Anyone know how long you can wait? I didn't know there was a limit. Mine was done in Dec 2005. He said I'm at a high risk and I have three large hernias too from the surgery, which makes my belly protrude on the side. I still want to have more information on this and maybe get this done one of these days. I have Lupus, that's what makes it serious to have the surgery. I had a stroke after the first surgery. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.
