i wouldn’t do anything for at least 4 weeks. what type of mesh did they use? why did you have to stay overnight? anyway, hope your recovery goes well.

seems to me from all the posts i have seen that, no matter how good the surgeon is etc. , there is always the chance that your system will reject the mesh and then you may have chronic pain etc. but i guess that is the chance you take with mesh.. i got phasix dissolvable mesh , so far i haven’t had any issues . 8 weeks after surgery.

actually today would be week 4 and i don’t have any of that. it probably was around week 3. everyone is different and i may have a different threshold of pain. but i definitely don’t have any discomfort or pain . and i really didn’t have much after the 1st week other than the swollen parts.
