Event Description
In 2006, i had surgery to correct an incisional hernia, dr. (b)(6) was the surgeon and he used mesh to repair the hernia. I do not know the manufacturer of the mesh. Sometime in late 2013 or 2014, i began noticing a great amount of discomfort in the area of the surgery. I first though it was either my button or snap on my pants irritating the area. Then i thought maybe it was that i was eating. Then i wondered if the hernia could be back. Finally i consulted first my pcp, who examined me and could find no evidence of another hernia. Then i went to another dr who said it was the mesh being irritated that was causing my problems. His suggestion was to wear bigger pants. Then i went back to dr. (b)(6) and he said basically the same thing. The mesh sometimes gets irritated, but it should go away in a couple of months. He also said if he took the mesh out, my hernia would return. It's been more than a year, and sometimes the pain in my abdominal area is so intense, it is difficult to conduct my daily activities. I wish i had known this before the surgery.
