Laproscopy Done, Pain After Eating, Decreased Eyesight, Hearing Issues, Erectile Dysfunction
Hello Doctor, I had a laparoscopic surgery back in 2010. The surgery was a ladd's procedure. I used to get heavy pains soon after eating. Even though Its been a couple of years now, I am still not relieved from pain. I have shown myself to very good spl'sts without much help. I have and am talking a lot of medications. DO you think the procedure and the medications can have a lot of side-effects. As I feel after the surgery my eye sight has decreased, feel I have some hearing issues, erectile dysfunction.. to name a few.
