I would love to know how many people percentage-wise truly fully recover after mesh removal. Obviously, those on this forum for the most part had a terrible outcome from their surgery, and thinking of doing another one to undo it is a very scary proposition to say the least. Especially when it seems lots of people had no benefit from removal of…[Read more]

Dr Yunis wanted me to get a CT scan before really opining. However, I got freaked out over the CT scan before my appointment because I’ve already had one in the pelvis and two in the abdomen already. Concerned about excess radiation. I probably will get the scans. Problem
Is I have mesh on both sides and it’s over 3 hour procedure. That to me…[Read more]

I hear you. My situation almost mirrors your situation to a tee. Pain level about the same, but always there. The doctors call it more of an “annoyance“ then pain. I met Dr Yunis, mainly because of the reviews. I don’t know, with the level of discomfort I have, mesh removal seems like killing a flea with a bazooka gun. Seems like a very invol…[Read more]

Looking forward to it. Thanks for all you do, and have a great thanksgiving!

Thanks, Dr. T.

Thanks for the insights.

They say the one I got right after my surgery, which is a little over a year old, is not helpful, and they prefer a newer image now that I’ve healed. I pushed back because I am nervous about the exposure. Especially because we have a prostate cancer risk running in our family.

Thank you.

Somehow got a password and joined. It was fantastic! Thanks so much for your time!

So sorry, but tried to join and I did not have the password that I needed.

Great!

Ive also noticed my pubic area seems fattier since my surgery (9 months ago)
The sure way to see a reoccurrence is ultrasound with valsalva from what I understand.

Zoom is a great platform and readily accessible.

Maybe members can submit their questions in advance by a certain time?

Great idea! Wish all doctors were like you.
Facebook live or Instagram are my suggestions.
Keep us posted!

Just to follow-up @drbrown and @drtowfigh I met with my original surgeon today and now he’s ordered an abdominal ultrasound. Valvasa? Any suggestions on prep or what to ask of the technician so that I get the most out of it? Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks to all for your insights. I am going to push for imaging. Thanks @drtowfigh

Thanks @drbrown I am seeing my first surgeon on Monday and will inquire about this. Thanks for your insights

@drbrown both my original surgeon, and second opinion surgeon, are not inclined to order imaging for me. They both say the same thing: by doing a physical exam they feel everything is intact, and that imaging will not help them figure out why I am getting the soreness and stiffness that I feel when I am more active.
With regard to injections, they…[Read more]
