April 2, 2017 - Email Message - Hi Howie, there's no rush to have this done; but should be performed before the hernia becomes incarcerated. There's absolutely no way of knowing if or when that may occur. As far as having it done locally without general anesthesia would not be a pleasant experience and it's preferable to have it done laparoscopiclly under general anesthesia. I would simply ask for a different anesthesiologist if one is available or go to a different physician/clinic. Hope all is well otherwise...looking forward to seeing you if and when you come to San Diego. Best Wishes. Edward Brantz.

April 3, 2017 - Email Message - Hi again. Really sorry to bother you with this. Actually there is no way to request another anesthesiologist at this place. When my wife called they said no way. Now we are without a good option unless we go to the mainland of Japan which means a few nights for the family at a hotel and kind of a hassle with the boys. Anyway a couple of questions. I believe four month of inactivity and bronchitis led to this. For about a week now returned to light farming and began walking almost a couple hours per day along with light stomach and leg exercises. A couple of weeks ago could feel my whole stomach shifting. Now the hernia is barely shifting at all and almost not bulging out. Simply wondering if through a continuing workout program and weight loss if this would reduce the chances of incarceration. Also wondering if this could in fact be a non surgical treatment for this. Again apologies for bothering you again with this. Please send email when you can. Howie.

April 5, 2017 - Email Message - Hi Howie, your premises are not correct. Once you have a hernia, you own it. Again I would recommend the laparoscope technique with general anesthesia. Text me anytime. Edward Brantz.
