Thanks a lot! Wish I could like your answer but it seems this functionality is not there anymore…
-
Which procedure did you opt for the repair? Did you get a mesh in the end?
Also I wanted to ask you, you stayed in the US for your first surgery? -
Yes, I can understand somebody might be tempted by the use of a mesh….problem is, it will remain forever a potential health problem….the more so given we live longer and longer (I don’t understand the attitude of using a mesh in an older person, as he or she might live another 20/30 years)…and in my case the Urticaria problem is a definite no (when that kicked in it was NOT fun:( )
-
I wonder, is scar tissue strong enough to prevent future recurrences?
-
You mean the hernia was not there from the beginning or somehow it closed by itself?
-
Of i also forgot to mention that this guy is supposed to be a specialist…
-
I meant the first US took 30 minutes …
-
I would lIke to hear from some doctors what they make of some of the points eg using still polypropylene meshes? The fact that doctors still undermine side effects? I also would be curious to hear what is normally advised in the even that also the other side is seen weak and at risk of an hernia….can one really see the weakness of the wall from US btw? this was his argument when saying that it might be necessary to do something there too….also does US provide the size of the hernia? The first US I had didn’t mention it and it took 3 min: this time after 5 min always lying down I was given the size etc…I know docs don’t speak against other docs (I have seen that at play in the past) but some object points can be discussed hopefully..
-
Ah no sorry I made a mistake you got the meshes right?
-
@good-intentions you are waiting for a better future approach and or pure tissue repair right? How do you cope? Do you do specific exercises?
-
He also mentioned that one should exercise the muscles to keep them strong but at the same time doing so puts pressure on the hernia…..
-
Well he spoke and I knew between the lines what I was hearing…I am sad and angry too….obviously I will not get surgery with him….I would appreciate though some honesty at least eg I can only do mesh and I don’t know long term what might happen…this would be more acceptable and fair…
-
I read that robotic simple suture repairs can be done, and that laparoscopic ones are harder…it was mentioned here in this forum…
The external oblique muscle is also split in open repairs even if it is only suturing?
-
It seems I cannot access it anymore apparently…no idea why…I also have to login now
-
You can find them on YouTube…he has his own channel…there are about 7 videos with 7 different exercises
-
Well as I put it once some got a nobel prize for the invention of plastics and some others hopefully will win one for the discovery or invention to rid the world of its presence….I dream of swimming at sea without seeing some plastic floating…just like when I was a child
-
@drbrown i have not yet had any surgery other than an umbilical one 16 years ago without mesh (if I recall right)..I will see a surgeon tomorrow but the only mesh I would consider is an absorbable one…but preferably not…
-
@roger555 how old are you if I may ask and do you do sports?
-
Strange i can open it without restrictions….unless people from the US are supposed to pay?
-
From what I have read I would have assumed a quicker move to full exercising with a mesh i.e. after 4 weeks?
