Edit – it didn’t work. This post should be at the end of the thread, but it is here instead, buried.
Edit 2 – I checked the date on each thread and made a list.

Hello again. I am experimenting with the way I post to see if it has an effect. In this post I scrolled all the way to the bottom of the thread, placed my cursor in the bottom post, and clicked the red Reply button on the upper right. This window opened and I am typing in it.
I also clicked on the “Learn WordPress” link in the menu to the upper left and did a search on their Support page. It appears the sorting problem is not uncommon. Maybe there is an answer there.

Hello @dev @Carmen_Calvo
I hope that you are still researching how to make the forum work as a forum should. As it sits now, the Discussion page is essentially unreadable. There is no sense to the order of new posts, They’re not backward or alphabetical. They’re just randomly sprinkled through the other posts.
If you could fix that problem first that would be huge. There is no way to have something resembling a conversation now, unless the forum member only uses the News Feed like they would a Twitter feed. Except that the Twitter feed would have every members posts combined on one page. And there is no way to “Retweet”.
Good luck. As many have pointed out there must be a solution. There are probably forum members who know how to get it done also. I assume that the software is WordPress software? If one of us took the time to learn WordPress, could we offer suggestions?
If the status quo is acceptable please let us know that also. Does the original goal of the forum still apply? It’s hard to understand what is going on.
Thanks.

You seem a lot like a former HerniaTalk member.
There are are 95 pages on HerniaTalk that refer to mesh removal. I would read through those. Nothing has changed for decades, except that there are more surgeons doing mesh removal today.
Good luck.

By who? The hospital or surgeon. The name.

Where was the repair performed?

Another update from one of the MDL news pages. 300 cases per month added, on average since the beginning of the year. That is a lot of money out the door for the device makers if the settlement numbers are large. Might be worthwhile to invest some R&D money in to a better mesh product. Pay the scientists instead of the attorneys.

“November 17, 2023: MDL Adds 400 New Cases
Another 400 new cases were added to the Bard hernia mesh MDL over the last 30 days. There are now 20,768 plaintiffs in this hernia mesh MDL. Since the start of 2023, the Bard hernia mesh MDL has averaged over 300 new cases each month.”

Hello. Dr. Towfigh posted on her pinned News Feed post that the News Feed would auto-populate from the Discussions page. I find that it only shows my own posts, not those of other members. So, in order to see new stuff from other members, I still have to sign in, then click Discussions and go to the Discussions page, to see new replies.
Also, I am still unable to Comment to a post on the News Feed page. I tried to comment to Dr. Towfigh’s post but got kicked out after a few seconds. Just long enough to type about 50 words then have them get disappeared. Kind of exasperating.
I guess, big picture wise, there is still hope. There are thousands of forums out on the internet, and different types of forum software out there, that manage to exclude the trolls and execute a certain useful discussion format. Here is an example.

Testing my ability to post something with a link in it. And, also, to see where it is placed. This is in an already created thread.
https://custom.cvent.com/9D6126EEBC1B404DA11E747D5B4411CE/files/955da81f74bd4068b0c320dd2aba1bdb.pdf
At the start I’m getting an error message about creating a link preview. Probably because it’s a link to a pdf file page. I’ll hit Post anyway.
Edit – it worked! Yay….
Edit 2 – but it still placed a November post before a September post. Not yay…

Hello again @dev
Unfortunately the problem seems to be back. You can see my November 16 reply above my November 15 reply. Edit – along with this post above both of them.
I have also found that I cannot post a reply with a link in it. I assume that the link is the problem, the error message does not specify. Here is an image.
Sorry to be such a bother. The discussion page is almost back to normal, just not quite there yet.

Thank you @dev for all of the hard work on fixing the bugs. This is a quick test of my ability to reply. I replied to a different thread and got an error message.

The next trial is really interesting. It involves a very popular mesh, Bard 3D Max, that is used in laparoscopic and robotic procedures. Very mainstream modern hernia repair, the type to where the societies and technology companies are trying to push the hernia repair field. It could have big impact. It looks like they’re focusing on the “3D” nature of the product and its tendency to fold. Although the flat meshes fold also. The focus on manufacturing though, essentially gives an “out” for Bard (now BD) for seling future product. They should focus on the verifiable facts and the harm done. Don’t dilute the argument..
“November 13, 2023: More Bellwether Trials Set
What is next in the hernia mesh lawsuits? Another trial. Scheduled for January 2024, the fourth/fifth bellwether trial involving Bard centers on plaintiff Jacob Bryan, who underwent a surgical procedure involving the use of a 3DMax hernia mesh for inguinal/groin hernia repair. Post-surgery, Mr. Bryan experienced severe complications, including mesh deformation and chronic pain, which have necessitated ongoing medical treatment and may lead to additional surgery.
Originally selected as a bellwether trial by the defendants years ago, there was an effort by them to remove Mr. Bryan’s trial date. Their argument centered on the premise that Mr. Bryan’s complications were more severe than initially expected, potentially skewing the representative nature of the bellwether trial. However, the motion to replace Mr. Bryan as a bellwether case was denied by the Judge Sargus.
The product at the center of this case, the 3DMax hernia mesh, is subject to similar allegations as other products in similar lawsuits. The plaintiff accuses Bard of failing to adequately warn both patients and healthcare providers about the significant risks and potential complications associated with the use of the 3DMax mesh. This includes not just an omission of known risks but also underrepresentation of the severity and frequency of possible adverse effects. Additionally, the lawsuit raises issues regarding the design and manufacturing of the 3DMax mesh. It is alleged that defects in the design and manufacturing process contributed to the complications suffered by patients like Mr. Bryan.”

I just stumbled across this old post by Pinto and wondered if Dr. Jacob has had his hernia repaired yet. 3+ years have passed.
Here is a link to the video.

Not sure what’s happening, the software showed my double post as being at the end of the thread then moved it up a few again. Anyway, if this is at the end, scroll up a few posts and check the date. Good luck people.

This will be a double reply. I used the red “Reply” button at the upper right and the software stuck my reply in to the middle of the stream. I assume, maybe, wherever my cursor was.
Hopefully this one shows up at the end of the thread where it can be found, as I thought it would.
Might as well give the forum software some more testing. It is now almost six years since I had mesh removed by Dr. Billing of Transform Weight Loss in Kirkland Washington. Things have been going very well, My range and duration of activities is still slowly expanding. I don’t really have any “down” days anymore, every day is open to spontaneous possibilities. Lifting heavy weights, walking long distances, running, sprinting. I do still get some soreness at the spot of the original hernia, but it feels like it is generated from the outside now. From slight constant external pressure on the spot.
So, as I’ve said before, I don’t want to make anyone feel bad about the long time it might take to get back to full fitness, six years is a long time. But I’d also like to give some hope to people that expected faster results from their surgery, whether it was mesh removal or hernia repair, if recovery is slow for them If you’re feeling progress it will probably continue.
But, also, to be clear, as far as mesh repair surgery, I was making zero progress of recovering from the original best practice top level best surgeon standard of care of TEP implantation of Bard lightweight Soft Mesh. My first ever surgery of any kind was a disaster that lasted three years plus the years after to heal from mesh removal So if you’re having mesh problems don’t let this account convince you to wait too long. You’ll know if things have any chance of getting better.
Also, finally, and maybe most importantly, Dr. Billing really does seem to know what he’s doing “in there”. If you’ve watched any videos of surgeons narrating what they’re doing and/or heard them describe it, there are all sorts of different ways that surgeons do things. There is no standard practice mesh removal method. As far as I know and according to his surgery notes, all that he did was carefully remove as much mesh as he could. No neurectomies were noted as having been done and I do not have any symptoms of neurectomy. No numbness or phantom pain. And no signs of recurrence.
So I can sincerely recommend seeking out Dr. Billing if you feel that you need to have mesh removed.

Good luck, keep going.
Thanks.
