Tomas is the read deal.

I concur with Good Intentions and Ezzy’s remarks. I had no mesh bilateral inguinal and umbilical repair by Dr. Tomas in Ft. Myers, Florida. I had all three repaired on the same day. It’s been 11 months since my repair. I am happy to answer any questions that lead to my decision, and my experience thus far. I spent about a year researching hernia repair from many types of sources: message boards, NIH articles, other publications, litigation information, Google, etc. I was on a quest to find someone who documented their personal experience with a Desarda repair by Dr. Tomas. I wanted to learn about their experience before, during, and after surgery. Most of what I found lacked documentation for experiences months and years out. The experiences also lacked the details I was looking for about recovery. The best that I found was here: http://thelibrarian.bravesites.com/entries/general/desarda-hernia-surgery. I think it is quite good, compared to what is out there. And it was very hard to find. I decided to document much of my experience, particularly during the 2 weeks immediately after my surgery, about how I felt at every day in the process. But I quickly realized why as time passes by it is harder to learn about someone’s personal experience. For me, there was less to report other than I don’t even think or feel anything regarding my hernias. My two weeks recovery documentation is pretty detailed. If anyone is considering Dr. Tomas or Desarda, I am happy to share.
