Hi William,
I thought I’d check in and just saw your message. Everything is still going well here.

Hi Good intentions,
Yes, i had a inguinal hernia surgery about 10 years ago in the Uk and they used mesh. This was before I knew about what mesh does to your body. I have had issues with my body and muscular tightness since the mesh and I think the second hernia could possibly be due to this.
I did not want any more mesh in my body, which is why I…[Read more] -
