Nothing against Dr Tollestrup - I’m sure he’s an excellent surgeon. I feel I need to let you know that I was cured from this horrendous pain by Dr Thomas Gillespie at St Joseph’s Medical Center in Phoenix via Robotic Laparoscopic procedure. You can see a similar surgeon on YouTube under hernia robotic laparoscopic surgery.

Hi, still working on getting Dr. Gillespie to help me. He asked my pain doc to identify which nerves to cut. So pain doc did a series of abdominal shots and we are now doing a series of 3 spinal blocks. We are on # 3 this coming Tuesday. T9, T10 which was #1 did nothing for relief but aggravate the pain. T10, T11 which was #2 gave relief for about 1/2 hour. I worked very hard to try and facilitate a talk between the two doctors, but as of last week pain doc had no luck getting hold of Dr. G. I'm losing hope. Anything you can say to reassure me, or suggestion about communicating? Thanks for reading and hope you're doing well.
