Scar tissue pre surgery

I am going to Mexico on April 6th for pre op followed by surgery. I had a question about surgery. Since I have had surgery before and have scar tissue, will it keep me from having surgery? It's above my belly button. Will they remove it? If so will it be an additional cost? I was reading some of the forums where some have found scar tissue removed it or canceled someone's surgery. I also saw where people have had a hernia and didn't know and it was fixed as well. If these things are found will Dr. Rodriguez fix them and will there be an additional fee? If so do you know how much more? I want to make sure I get everything fixed at the same time but also make sure I have the funds if needed. Thank u!

I had a lot of abdominal scar tissue from prior surgeries. My surgeon told me after surgery that the scar tissue had formed adhesions and he had to cut it away. Scar tissue is common and it is relatively simple form your surgeon to take care of that while he's working on you. It shouldn't cost extra because it's just another part of the same surgery.

Good Luck!
