Just found out that hernia s are a part of this, I have had three double hernia,s and was operated on . It was after this that I developed a massive belly. Why does it seem that it’s like talking to the secret service every time we try to find out what the hell are they doing to our bodies with their drugs

Thanks love appreciate the comment, noticed that the docs nurses etc seem to shy away when I ask why. Mine has been 4 years now. I have a op for a large cyst on my shoulder under general anaesthetic in 5 hours so I am just going to mention it to the consultant. I have paid into the NHS for 52 years now but I have to pay almost £1600.00 for the operation as there is no money left for what they call a cosmetic op. The reason why no money is left is that it’s all been used by the high influx of immigrants oh well. Will let you know outcome of the BIG BELLY syndrome haha.
