Red square? was it a mesh square implanted from a hernia surgery?

Thanks Good intentions for the information, and your input as well. Also thanks to Mark T and William Bryant for their great input as well.
Mechanically I would like to know what happens in the internal abdomen when someone runs. Are the intestines slammed up forcefully against the inguinal canal? It would be nice if there were a branch of science which studied the mechanical engineering of the internal body and tissue fibers. under various conditions.

Thanks Mark. I love to jog, and sometimes pick up the pace for my runs which usually do not exceed 8 miles, and on average are around 4 miles; 5 times per week. So that should give you some context. Mechanically I don’t know what kind of pressure that places on a surgically repaired hernia.
However if Lifting belts help prevent hernias, then I would think that adaptive equipment like tighter spandex type shorts could help support the abdominal wall around where the surgery occurs. Functional abdominal support and hernia prevention is my preference rather than strictly comfort.
If someone were to invent such a short, I would think that it would be in great demand. It would cut down on more revision surgeries I would hope, don’t you think? -
Hi Cody, thanks for your posts, I am so happy for you, and for being so brave as to fly out for your procedure. I think the polypropylene suture won’t cause you any issues, however I am not a physician. You might want to watch this video. This fellow is a biomedical engineer, and his grandfather was a surgeon. Please watch what he has to say. In the video Dr. Kang asked him to choose his suture type, and he chose polypropylene.

Hey PeteC,
After reading your story from previous threads on this forum, about the horrible flawed surgery performed by Dr. Brown, and all that you have to endure each day, I feel so bad for you.
I can quite honestly say that if I had one, and only one wish in this world it would be to have your body be at 100% again, undoing the damaged cause by the horrible surgery. I do think it is important that you continue (As long as you wish) to post your story each year telling everyone about what you have been through. I know that you have helped many people; bringing awareness about being cautious about who is chosen to perform the surgery. I found it to be really sad how you trustingly asked Dr. Brown for reassurance that he would not hurt you prior to the surgery, yet he did hurt you surgically in one of the worst ways possible.
Take care my friend, the world is a better place with you in it, you have helped me, and I know that you have helped others as well.
