Confused C-Section gone wrong. Do I have a case?

Branson, MO I am 25 and single mom of two. In 2001, I welcomed my first baby by cesarean. During this time, they were experimenting with dermabond. It was great. Six months later, my incision began to abcess and get badly infected. I would say I went to the ER and same doctor over a dozen times to have it lanced, drained, and packed. This of course being over th couse of a couple years. After losing jobs because of too many days off or not being able to do that type of work, I went to a surgeon here locally. He, along with others, told me to lose weight, quit smoking, and to use better soap because it was nothing more than an ingrown hair. In 2005, I went to the NP of the doctor who did my cesarean. She referred me to a specialist who decided to do exploratory of my incision, finding that I was allergic to the dermabond. About a year after that, I found out I was pregnant. I lost the baby due to unknown reasons. My incision then began, very rarely, to become infected pretty badly again. It then stopped when I became pregnant in 2008. My second child was born cesarean. As this doctor was beginning to close me up he realized that my inner organs were stuck together and were not supposed to be. It took him a little over an hour to fix that. Now, due to other issues, we think, I've had to have a full historectomy a couple weeks ago. When he went in to take everything he had to scrape my uterus off my stomach lining. My uterus had been adhered to my stomach for quite some time. I have been told that I have no case because of the time frame from when the first surgery with the dermabond happened. Do I have a case? And does anyone know what I should do to have my story heard?
