hernia repairs using mesh

Victoria Derbyshire tv programme 26 September - very concerned

Do you mean a hiatus hernia

Very. And extremely informative. 

Inguinal hernia during the TV investigations and in my interest area. Was considering the operation - now not sure =.

Have you a view on having the operation using the mesh ?

I would think very very hard before having a mesh. I have had to have 2 meshes literally dug out of me. My body rejected both and I had a huge hard ball of mesh in my groin. The pain.. and it took me years of going from surgeon to surgeon until I found 2 that actually believed me. 

The pain and suffering I have endured I would not wish on anyone else. I ran, hiked, was fit. Had a job I loved and now som says I am unable to get out of my bed.

I would research for a surgeon that will perform hernia surgery without a mesh.

I wish you all the luck in the word and ask questions, lots and lots of questions!
