  1. AWR Challenging Cases 2013Frederic Eckhauser, M.D.Johns Hopkins Hospital • W.L. is a 40-year-old woman with a significant history of morbid obesity, anxiety, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, depression, and a massive abdominal wall hernia with loss of domain. • Past surgical history includes cesarean section in 1992 with resulting incisional hernia. Attempted repair with the implantation of synthetic mesh in 1996 and 1998 at outside facilities. Additional surgeries included sleeve gastrectomy in January 2011 and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1990. The patient was admitted on multiple occasions for small bowel obstruction which resolved with conservative management.
