Hello, I have had a bochdalek hernia seen on a CT scan. The hernia was seen to be filled with fat. I have had some breathing issues, pain in my front lower rib area and an enlarged fatty liver. I am a 47 year old and I weigh 230 pounds. How do I find a Doctor in the San Francisco area who might have experience with this very rare hernia.
