Who and where did you have mesh removal? I am assuming your mesh being 6×8 is umbilical/ventral. How was your removal recovery, hospital stay,bed ridden after discharged? Thanks!

I have similar symptoms,fatigue, tripping and falling. My umbilical was 2016 with ventral. The mesh implanted is bard ventralight st with echo positioning.https://youtu.be/nDdO3eZ_zfA . It is a 6x8in. I am now doing research on removal as well. Hindsight is 20/20 we all need foresight. The pain I was in prior to surgery clouded my judgment so I agreed to it without study. The general surgeon said it was like patching a tire. I now have pains in same area that feel deeper, hoping it is not an adhesion! This mesh is touching organs if I’m not mistaken, watch you tube video. I have been to neurosurgeons and neurologists for nerve problem causing footdrop which they said is the tripping and falling. I have not felt or been able to do a lot of the things that I could before surgery. Core doesn’t work the same, hurts if I engage it for tasks that used to be simple. I grew up physical and have a physical occupation,for now. Since the tripping and falling dr.s have me out of work on short term disability. So using core normally to walk does not work like before surgery. I know what your friend is going through. I hope we find solutions for the practice of medicine.

Hello nervyb. I had similar issue with surgeon pressing with force on umbilical region. I had extreme pain after leaving his office and ran a fever that night. I then had to have hernia repair a couple of weeks later. With pain as the a major factor I did not do my research about mesh and agreed to it. In my opinion do the second opinion with a surgeon that can repair,if it is a hernia,without mesh.

I had/have umbilical and ventral. A so called repair 6/2016 with mesh. I am experiencing minor pain with eating as well. A couple of people have told me the same. I have asked multiple medical people which tests would show possible adhesions. The majority says that maybe a CT. I have yet to try as I am trying to find Drs to remove mesh. Good luck

I am new to this site aunetic so I do not have a definitive answer. I myself had umbilical with a ventral so called hernia repair 6/2016. It was mesh,rather large 6x8in. It has never been the same and I am also looking for an MD for possible correct abdominal repair with mesh removal. I am now experiencing slight pain in these locations. In my opinion I would NOT use mesh if at all possible! I wish you the best of luck!
