Hi @jhmontrose

I haven't had my operation yet, but I can empathise with the pain; especially the pain on breathing. Do you think the median arcuate ligament was not cut back enough on the first operation?

Dr. Meyer actually suggested that as a possibility, in addition to not removing the nerve bundle. The vascular surgeon (Dr. Swee Tan) who worked on me in 2015 didn't file a report with the hospital, so they are requesting it. I had a thoracic surgeon finish a hernia repair for reflux and he filed the operative report.
