I had an incisional right flank hernia repair (01-14-09) as a result of a kidney removal which is service connected. The surgery has resulted in a new hernia in the new incision. As a result of this,I have lost my job, I am suffering multiple medical problems including depression, lower back problems, walking with the aid of a cane, digestive problems, and constant pain at the surgery site. First, the doctor claims that my surgery is not service connected, yet I am rated at 30% for the kidney removal. Second, the doctor states there is nothing wrong with me and he has done the best he can do. Third, he states the difficulties I am having are a result of excessive weight gain since the surgery. But according to my VA medical record, I weigh .6 lbs less now than the day of the surgery.
