Thanks @drtowfigh. I do see some mentions of Florida hernia surgeon specialists, but not necessarily mesh removal specialists. Would those doctors be top of their game as to mesh removal as well? Thanks so much

Thanks. That’s a great question. Haven’t thought that far ahead. Believe it or not, I’m not adverse to mesh if it’s done right by a specialist.

Thanks Dr. T. Yes, would be done robotically by a Doctor that you’ve had a guest on your weekly show. Sounds like both at once is the way to go.

Thanks. I was told both sides would take between 3 to 3 1/2 hours. It seems like it was really my call. Concerned about the length of being under, but also concerned about multiple invasions of the abdomen, considering I already did it once.

How long was the procedure?

Congrats! So, are you happy with the outcome? Timeline seems long. The doctor I saw says that I would instantly feel much better?

I wouldn’t do it personally. Almost 2 years and I feel improvement. I’m going to keep seeing the progress I am making. A very invasive procedure with no guarantees. I wish you luck.

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]

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.
