Vicky, I'm slightly confused also, are you saying you had surgery in 1988 and don't know which surgery you had? The hospital should have records of any operation performed in their data base and files. You should be able to contact them and request a copy of the operative report. Good luck.

vicky, I wasn't sure exactly what I had done either. I had what was called a "stomach stapling" back in 1984. When I began my journey for a revision, I found out that the dr. who did the surgery had passed away. I was able to contact the hospital where the surgery was done. I spoke w/the medical records dept. They have a record of every surgery ever done at their hospital. I put a request in for copies of my record. It took about 3 days. I pick them up myself. The dr. had a detailed explanation of exactly what he did. Are you hoping to have a revision? You may e-mail me if you like: [email protected]
