I've had 3 surgeries within 3 months for detached retina. Even though each time I've had the long lasting gas bubble and have followed the 7 day face down follow-up, I never quite make it past the one month mark before symptoms recur and they want to do surgery again. Very discouraged and would like to hear from anyone why this might be happening, the likelihood of it happening, and what can be done to stop it. I can't take much more.
