@kathycaudle, I want to believe that you are feeling some relief after getting a similar response from the surgeon and your PCP. And I also suspect that you feel some disappointment that this will be an ongoing issue. I think that you are extremely fortunate to have a PCP who knows you and your transplant history.
You don't like it being there, but you have already learned to live with it, and will continue to do the same while living your life. Kathy, now that you have had both doctors giving you the same response, have you felt encouragement to do anything different with your day-to-day activities.

What did either doctor tell you to do if you develop, vomiting, or fever?
Do you have any long term plans, that you delayed due to the hernia diagnosis, that you want to 'reactivate'?
