Medical Negligence in C-Section Operation

In 2004 I went to the hospital and told them I was in labor, they told me they didn't pick up anything on the monitor. Next thing I know I started bleeding and they had to rush me in for an emergency c-section. My child was born at 32 weeks of pregnancy.

My case is this: My stomach was stapled shut. Before I left the hospital I told my doctor something was wrong and I felt like the staples were burnig me or pinching. He told me I was fine, come in on Monday and he will take them out.

When I looked at it my vagina was stapled to my stomach and I still have the hole there now. I also noticed a flap of skin hanging out of my cut and he told me it was a lip - sometimes that's how it heals.

Since then I've been developing a lump in that area. I've been to the doctor and hospital a good bit of times about this problem. Now it's causing me so much pain I've been referred to a surgeon.

No one yet is able to tell me what it is. It has been called a hernia by my doctor, but the hospital and surgeon said that's not what it is. It was called a nudle the last time I went to the emergency for the pain. This time when I went in on Sunday they called it a fatty tumor.

The surgeon said he is not sure what it is. I go for surgery on Wednesday, but I'm scared if they don't know what it is how do they know whether or not to operate. Is there anything I can do since they don't seem to know what they're doing? Please help. Thanks.
