    Chronic Mesh Pain and Weight Loss

    We do. It tailor the size of the mesh to the weight of the patient. However, thinner patients are more likely to have sensation of the mesh so I prefer heavier weight mesh in the obese and lighter weight in the thin patients.

    Losing weight down to a healthy weight without malnutrition is protective and preferred for hernias.
