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 @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 say that since my discomfort is more regional, and nothing acute, that an injection will not help.Can I, as the patient, insist on these things? I tried to be respectful as I can with the surgeons, and don’t want to overstep.

MemberFebruary 10, 2020 at 2:01 pm in reply to: Some random comments re: mesh removal + forum critiqueI’m like you. 8 months in. Very concerning. Symptoms flare up when I am active, but when not active, feel pretty good. Thought about the removal route as well, because this is very concerning and consumes me as well, but I am just going to give it more time

My surgeon says it’s a dangerous procedure and something they try to avoid at all costs. That was an eye-opener to me. And like you say, no guaranteed results.
