Good morning,

I'm back at home after undergoing surgery with Dr Hagen on Monday evening. I'm feeling a lot better but a little sore and full of gas. A few ads of rest and I'm sure ill be back to my normal self.

I just want to thank him and his team at Humber River Regional Hospital!
They were fantastic. They saved my life and I'm very grateful.

I have been reading some papers written on internal hernias after RNY gastric Bypass and encourage everyone to be aware of this complication and know the symptoms. If you google petersen's defect- internal hernia's you'll find many studies.

Here's one article of interest.
