Watchful. Thanks as always for your input. The best on the page. I am in kind of a mess. Having had double mesh removal makes things worse. I have a bad dull ache on the right side where carvajal found a small direct hernia. I had pain there prior to surgery and it went away after mesh. With mesh removed it’s back. So I suspect the hernia i…[Read more]

This forum is getting super sleepy…thought we might have a debate here…guess not… Andreas Koch? I have been hearing a lot of negative stuff about Yunis lately….its near impossible to get a good result it seems

Sensei. Can we chat you can email me at [email protected]. Good to chat with other removal guys. Our prognosis is not great.

again thanks for your input…did Dr billings give you any long term prognosis regarding reherniation?? did he tell you you had to take it easy for life? any other precaustions?? thanks brother

thanks for posting….but i wonder why billings…when Dr belyansky can get both meshes out in under two hours….robotic is the way to go with remvoal…

Good intentions…thanks for posting. Can you comment on the strength you feel you have after removal? Can you lift weights, ride a bike> hike? curious if you have been tiptoeing around like a porcelain doll to avoid doing any more damage…and what you feel your longterm prognosis is…

Also special thanks to Dr. Twofigh for running this forum….without this forum patients would be hopelessly lost..her interviews with surgeons and other experts also very valuable.if i had found this forum I know i would never ever have allowed lap surgery to maim me.

Only downside to Kang is he will likely retire soon though he says he wants to work another 10 years. Anyone that went to Kang know anything about his son? I understand his son is taking up the mantle…but who knows how long it will take him to reach the status of his father.

and sorry Dr. B is Dr. Belyanksy…fantastic humble surgeon…his only downside is he still thinks plastic junk is perfectly safe despite removing it over 200 times.

also gotta love that Dr, kANG found a hernia and didnt try to fix it…contrast with my crook surgeon carvajal who found a hernia…with zero probing and diagnostics and decided to “fix” it even though there was not bulge and the pain was minor.

Alan thanks so much for your input…I am very depressed that i did not know much about Kang…i have this constant dull ache on my right side but no bulge. Did you have visible bulges on both sides? I feel confident its a hernia because the mesh resolved the pain and it only returned with mesh removal. Just curious–nearly every doctor i…[Read more]

Watchful thanks so much…you are the dean of the board…a guy after my heart and fanatical researcher. Hernia diagnosis is tough business. I didnt know this when my POS surgeon Carvajal put his finger on me for two seconds and concluded i had a hernia. Several other surgeons prodded and pushed and could not come to any conclusion…saying…[Read more]

Thanks Watchful…always appreciate your thoughts. I didnt have a bulge the first time when Carvajal…without any imaging at all diagnosed a small hernia. The op report said it was a small direct hernia. The pain on that side went away after the mesh was placed but has now returned with removal. So I suspect a return of the hernia. All the…[Read more]

Thx watchful. My case is not that different on the left side I had a large indirect that was heading into the scrotum. It started small and I waited 4 years to fix it. Big mistake. So far it hasn’t recurred. But the pain on the right is daily. The exact type of pain I had pre mesh surgery. Only worse. So unless carvajal was a total liar a good p…[Read more]
