@jayson - It is very upsetting to get the symptoms back. I did after 6 months. They did another angio CT and saw that the artery had not opened up after the pressure from the ligament was removed.
The plan was to try placing a stent- I was warned that if that failed they would have to open up and repair artery.
Do you have confidence in your surgeon?

The original surgeon I feel was very good. He took the time to listen to me and was very understanding. He was the only one who believed me unlike others I dealt with. My first vascular surgeon laughed at me and said that your celiac artery wasn't the problem. That it was all just in my head. It wasn't until Dr. Lowery sent me out for another Doppler US. My velocities were from 580 to 620. After that, the original vascular surgeon sent a certified letter stating my health was in danger and I needed to see him ASAP. LOL! So I'm very reluctant to see this new vascular surgeon her name is Jenny Cho. She's out of KU MED CENTER IN KS. So I have an appointment on April 8th and we will see what she wants to do. I feel she will just blow me off as the other did. It sad people go to their doctors and they just look at you as nothing is wrong. It's their arrogance that comes through when they don't know about MALS. However, I believe I found a good general surgeon who listens and is willing to do what is right for me.
