I didn't ask specifically the brand name but it was a dissolvable one, so that he didn't have to open me back up to take it out. The biggest problem is that I am so 'empty' in there that there is really no good place to anchor a barrier. The intestines wriggle too much and I don't have any ye olde female parts or appendix!
I have had only 3 surgeries for this, I say 'only' because I know of others who have had more than you can count on both hands. This is the first time that I have started having problems sooner than two years...at least problems that I couldn't handle. ;-)
Thanks for saying you enjoy my poetry. Sometimes that seems to be the only way I can communicate.
Wishing you many pain free moments, kcmo rose
