Q306:  I’m a Vietnam veteran who served in Vietnam 1969 – 1970.  I am service-connected for PTSD, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease.  Ten years ago I had clogged intestines.  The doctor said my small intestines were ischemic.  He had to remove over 3 feet of my small intestines.  For the last 10 years since my surgery I suffer from constant constipation.  Can I put in a SMC claim for partial organ removal?
