Reading some of these comments in here I can’t believe people want so long with an inguinal hernia. I had one in 2009 on the right side. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life. I was in Germany at the time and I couldn’t wait for the doctor to get me in to get it done. He used mesh and so far so good.

they used to but the rate of recurrence was very high because abdominal wall pressure is very strong. The expansion of the internal abdominal wall tears a primary suture closure back open which is why they began using mesh. they are coming out with mesh that fully absorbs and disappears over time therefore its your own collagen covering the defect after abosrption.

I had surgery 5 years ago. I too felt fine afterward. But mesh is a foreign object in the body. Your body changes over time. Mesh doesn't. Every now and then I feel extreme pain in the area where the mesh is. Most days I am fine. If I knew then what I know now I would have insisted on surgery without mesh even though the risk of reoccurrence is higher. My advice is to continue to work out, diet and exercise so that your body doesn't make too many changes.

4 weeks after op and given all clear to resume normal activities. Back at gym yesterday doing light weight exercises. Still wear my belt for extra support whilst at the gym. Very happy at outcome.

I've had two inguinal hernias (each side) repaired with the mesh (one side in 2012, the other in 2019). I could not be happier with them. If you're living with hernia discomfort and unsightliness, don't hesitate...just get it done. It's outpatient surgery and recovery is a breeze.

I have an allergy to surgical tape where the skin blisters under the tape. Hopefully the mesh they use does not contain any of this material. Looking forward to coming home that day and a return to my long walks again.

The mesh that I got 12 years ago destroyed me. Before the surgery I had only a bulge without sensations. After the surgery - permanent discomfort and sometimes even pain. Eventually the bulge popped back and it is slowly getting worse. The thought of having another surgery totally freaks me out. I am stuck.

it's abit similar, that after i got my laparoscopic surgery done, i felt something that i've never felt before in the past (before surgery). initially i felt discomfort around my pelvic and groin area, urinating feels like a torture and it felt like im having a UTI, but it doesn't burn when i urinate. after 4 weeks have passed, the pain is 80% reduced, and i am still having around 20% discomfort. I then turned to TCM that alleviates the discomfort i am having. I went to the local TCM practitioner in my area and he prescribed me powder capsules that supposed to reduce the discomfort, the TCM medication i consumed is similar to the patented TCM medication that you guys can find on the internet called "Ba Zheng San" - but my local TCM practitioner added few more herbs on top of that. I've been taking it for a week and it gives me around 10% discomfort. I know that TCM doesn't work the same like Western medication, TCM works slower but sure, but at least no harsh side effects like many antibiotics do. On top of the TCM i took, i also consume quercetin supplements and been doing kegel exercise too. l am just hoping that this will get resolved soon in 3-6 months.

And since then I've been having stabbing pains on the left side of my pelvis and it feels like it's the mesh or something internally stabbing me along with testicle pain. I've had 2 panic attacks and have been to Dr's, urologists, ER's and none of them are exactly sure what it is.

And It just doesn't sit right with me. I've already been on pills an could still feel the pain an they just messed my stomach up. But they also have found an epydidmal cyst on my testicle thru an ultrasound an just looking up symptoms on google it seems to me now it could be the cyst causing the pain. It's exhausting an painful. I ended up getting laid off of that job an have yet to be able to find another due to the pain. I pray God gives me a solution!

Had non-mesh repair in 2014 -- all good thus far (I'm 78). In the initial consultation, the surgeon asked why I wanted non-mesh; I told him I had heard little positive about the use of mesh. He said "no problem" as he knew some 20+ methods to repair a hernia and would decide on the method to use when he got in and saw the condition of the nearby body parts. He made no effort to inform me of the benefits of mesh use -- maybe he did not think them to be great enough to bother informing me.

Not true, I just had an open hernia surgery without mesh and its covered.

any infos on biodegradable meshes, like gore bio-a? what timeframe for degradation is best for young, fit patients with a small hernia? i got mine from incorrectly using a lifting belt, so my coretissue is normally strong enough. just to make that clear.

Thank you for this video. What are your thoughts on phasix mesh?

I’ve had a laparoscopic hernia repair surgery last week. My consultant used a 3D Bard mesh. I’m feeling relatively ok. No massive pain at the moment. Some mild discomfort. However, I’ve now seen that there are so many lawsuits going on against Bard… I’m worried now. Some talk about the mesh eroding and plastic fibres getting lose in your body… giving you all sorts of health problems. I’m a little bit scared…

@@computerblue01 of course. Really the worst day was day two, but in fairness, they had warned me about it. It’s because your surgeon will put some internal anaesthetic which wears off about 48 hours after the surgery, and that’s why day two it’s the worst time. Now don’t imagine some horrible unimaginable pain. It’s just sore, and then you go online to find out why you’re sore, and you find out all these horror stories which, as you say mainly reflect how things used to be. But to give you an idea I was back at work on day five I’m a musician, and on day eight I was on stage giving a piano concert. I have been literally pain-free since about day 8. I kept forgetting to take the painkillers that they prescribed me because I wasn’t in any pain. You’ve got to be careful and remember not to lift more than 5 kgn it’s easy to forget because I really felt absolutely fine and normal. I’m going to be four weeks since the operation in a couple of days, and they will let me start lifting my own bag to go to work, which is the only thing wasn’t allowed to do. I have full trust in the doctors. Listen carefully to what they tell you about after-care, listen carefully to the physiotherapist, who will visit you either just before, or after surgery, and do the very simple physical exercises that they give you. It’s really important that you don’t just lie in bed, that you move as early as you can so that it heals not just in straight line, but actually it heals organically around your body movements. Roughly 24 hours after surgery I was up by myself in the house, going up and down the stairs, Was completely independent and didn’t need any support walking. You will be absolutely fine. Listen carefully to the advice and be proactive, move as early as you can, and do the physio exercises. On day one I could barely do them , but then it gets better. And that’s the thing - to do them a little every day. You have to lift up your knee and on day two I over did it and it sent shooting pains, but that was because I forced it. Good luck and let me know how it goes. Where are you having it done? I was in central London.

Also there's like a red "ring" shape imprint around my belly button and the area at times feels very hot to the touch. My surgeon told me it's part of the healing process, as long as I'm not experiencing fever, vomiting, nausea or leaking I should be okay.

I’m confused because I had an inguinal hernia mesh fitted but after six months I suffered a failure so had the operation done again five weeks ago. The surgeon told me the internal stitches will not dissolve for extra strength. I now have two meshes in the area. I know these things can fail and I’ve heard of terrible pain stories on the internet. I say I’m confused though delighted that I haven’t had any of the pain associated with failure. Fingers crossed this lasts and post surgery pain on both occasions especially the second time was very limited.

Had my surgery done with mesh 6 months ago. Had a much longer recovery with a decent amount of pulling tissue type of pain than what has been stated of 4 to 6 weeks. As time went on is did get better but certain random movements cause knee dropping pain. Recently had a sciatica problem which needed Therapy core strengthening exercises. A month after starting therapy things were getting better for the sciatica and we pushed a bit more (took it very slow and light at 1st). Then got more aggressive somewhat with therapy and also the next day I tripped and fell with NO obvious pain at all. Got up quickly without a problem. 2 days later my hernia pain (which never really went away. just some random movement causing pain like tissue and/or nerves fibers pulling apart) got so severe it dropped me to my knee and needed to have the surgeon look at it after 6 months. He said no infection or swelling and gave me some pain meds. Now 2 weeks later and I still have a lot of pain and soreness. Feels similar to a week after surgery with the sharp burning, pulling apart feeling I kept having but the core muscle don't feel weak. I've read all the problems some people have had and just hope I'm not going to be another one of them. I will say, there's plenty of studies about mesh problems, some of which down play the %'s of how many patients complain about it. But I've see enough people and read enough from others who have problems to know that it's not a very small amount who have issues. My doctor has been said to have a great reputation for the surgery, but although he's got a decent bedside manner I feel like I didn't get much input of the possibilities. I did do research for a maybe a week. More about which type of surgery was best. Open, laparoscopic or robotic. Not as much about the mesh issues down the line. I've now dug deeper and am hoping I'm not one of those with constant pain. Before this latest setback I could swing a golf club after a few months and do most out door work around the home, except digging or really heavy lifting. Now, I can only function with easy stuff. I'm hoping the fall I had just ripped the scar tissues, but that ripping tissue pain never completely went away before the setback. Just had less occurrences. People who may read need to know not just about the good outcomes. But those who have to deal with the bad too. It may be something to deal with for the rest of your life.

Good video, thanks. Why use a mesh and not a solid plastic sheet? That should reinforce even better.

I've heard about that mesh stuff ... on the lawsuit infomercial cuz people brought lawsuits from issues with it.

My experience was that I had occasional discomfort -- especially in situations like crossing legs like you mentioned -- but the discomfort faded and became less frequent with time. By a year out, only very occasional discomfort; at two years, none whatsoever. I would. be patient and enjoy being able to stand without having your intestine fall out of your abdomen; at three months you are no doubt still healing.

I have mesh after a nick of the knife in a previous surgery, had to have a repair after that,iv been sick everyday since, an the pain to my stomach is so bad ,i never leave my house😢

My husband and I went to the Shouldice hospital and we were so disappointed with how outdated it was. People have told me it was like staying at a hotel, and it was like staying at a very very old hotel. The hospital beds were very thin and uncomfortable, and they had such a strict Schedule for everybody that we left and went to a hospital had day surgery. My husband came home and he’s been fine ever since at Shouldice you have to stay for four days. Maybe if it really was like a hotel with nice comfortable beds but no, thank you. But that’s just my opinion, you have to make your own. And that little video they showed you that is what it looks like still.

I had did done twice last year I got to have the surgery again which would be the third time 😢

I was told sholdice hand picks their patients. So basically if you’re in great shape , they accept to do surgery on you so the outcome is very positive and success percentage stays high but if you’re overweight, they flat out refuse you. Is there any truth to this?

Why can’t they do stitches that hold this together? I don’t want mesh. I’d rather risk it coming back.
