Yes...I meant pelvic adhesions, if you re-read the letter I sent to Dr. Gerhardt...you'll see that I did specify a "hiatal" hernia...and he has also repeated the word "hiatal" himself. Hernias in other locations are not called hiatal. I don't know what to say...other than I will discuss this further with him and thankyou for expressing your concern over the info. I am receiving. Dr. Reich has been cc'd by Dr. Gerhardt for the obgyn part of it. Maybe Dr. Reich will have more info. or once they get medical records they will explain more details. Dr. Gerhardt also conferred with me today about getting my medical records to review, etc. Jean. I do understand what you're saying about 7 holes and it is absolutely logical. You had a thorough meeting with them and mine is just one e-mail letter...I'm sure things will fall into place as more info is traded.
