Good Intentions/ Dr. Towfigh
I have a mexican friend who had double lap mesh surgery last year. He wants to travel to the US for mesh removal. Does not speak english so I am helping him. I see Dr Towfigh removes mesh. He is a laborer and is worried what mesh removal will mean for his livelihood. Does mesh removal significantly weaken the abdominal muscles? Such that he would automatically re-herniate if he does any kind of lifting? Thanks for any answers.

Good Intentions. Javier is considering Dr. Yunis because he has relatives in sarasota. Can you advise what limits you have?

Good intentions are you a law professor ? It seems you like the Socratic method. It was a poster named jonah jnomesh I believe who said he recurred after weights and tennis. Did your removal surgeon advise you to limit you activity in any way to prevent recurrance? Dr towfigh says in a video on technique that direct hernias usually require mesh

Depends on the situation, original repair method, original hernia size, patient factors, etc.
He needs full evaluation to see if he even needs mesh removal.

Strange story. Where did he have the mesh implant surgery? Why does he need it removed? Why would he trust someone who has not had hernia repair yet, and is still asking the old questions about Kang verus Shouldice? How will a laborer on Mexico level wages afford surgery in the US?
Very odd. Entertaining though.

Good intentions thanks for responding. I read your story of mesh removal. Javier had his mesh placed in mexico city. We grew up together there many years ago and have stayed in touch. I told him I had a hernia and he warned me against using mesh. I told him I would ask his question on some american forums. Have you limited your activity at all? I spoke with another member here who had mesh removal and a very painful recurrance after playing tennis.

You’re asking the same questions you’ve asked in the past Ken.
How is Javier doing? Did he choose a mesh removal surgeon yet?
-
Which member? I can’t recall any member reporting a recurrence after playing tennis.
