quote Good intentions:Dr. Towfigh has experience with that plug and patch, see her Twitter post below. Maybe she has thoughts about a surgeon who will see you and at least discuss options with you. You might want to give your general location again, maybe your insurance network also.

I have spoke with Dr.Towfigh before about my options and unfortunately my healthcare insurance is Medicaid at the moment and where I live my doctor choice is VERY limited. I know my own body very well.And I have had time to review what removal risks are. I need it out and my only choice is to pay cash to have it removed.Dr. Repta in my state of AZ. or possibly Dr. Tomas.The Las Vegas doctor I have read too many negative reviews about.
What do you see?
This is a medium size Perfix #plug #mesh that has balled up, aka #meshoma . It was causing chronic groin & nerve #pain due to erosion into the spermatic cord, so I excised it. He is now #pain free!🙏🏻#meshcomplication #hernia #chronicpain #itsnotjustahernia pic.twitter.com/EgnLh0ULXR

That is good advice Lucky46. Have you tried the facility where the surgery was performed? Typically, there are at least two sets of records, one for the facility and one for the surgeon. Even the anesthesiologist might have a copy. Each will have different reasons for keeping them. Call them directly.
I would recommend writing down what you remember also, as your own personal record. I found some discrepancies in my records that make me wonder if portions weren’t “cut-and-pasted” from previous surgeries on other people.
Good to see that you’re still around. You might try to find a surgeon who will help on your own, not through your PCP. Many plans allow self-referral. I’m sure that some clinic or doctors can ask to be referred also. Pull the referral instead of having your PCP push it. Or consider choosing a new PCP, one who can get more done, if you think that your current PCP is stone-walling you.
Somebody like Dr. Petersen in Las Vegas might be worth talking to it you haven’t already. They might have a payment plan since they work outside of the insurance systems. The insurance systems seem to be walling off the conditions that are not predictable. Mesh removal is one of those conditions.
Good luck.
