It is indeed really sad, now all new doctors only want to put mesh on us no matter what is the issue …. we are just money for them and they don’t really care about us as humans. Hope more doctors against mesh will come

[patient]

[USER=”2029″]Good intentions[/USER] Amazing job!
it also seems doctors who insert you mesh, they receive money or free training for mesh

[patient]

[USER=”2844″]ssonic99[/USER] I am really sorry for your experience and your situation, it seems most of the doctors are nice when you meet them and before the operation but once you pay them and after the operation, they don’t want to know anything about you or any questions.

It seems Desarda with Dr. Tomas is not a good surgery and people should avoid it. I understand no-mesh repair has a very high risk of recurrence, I am still waiting if my symptoms go worst.

Hope you can recover soon

Thanks for your good notes [USER=”2804″]pinto[/USER] !

I haven’t had my operation for inguinal hernia on both sides yet but I went to 3 doctors and they are happy to use mesh with me, when I asked about the consequences they say it is really rare something wrong happens however if you accept you must sign some documents confirming you know the complications and then you can not take any legal actions, and they can continue using mesh.

On note aside, it seems the medical field have changed drastically during the couple of years, before we were patients and they really cared about us but now we are just money for them, doctors now only want to save time and money, they also receive some gifts or money from the mesh manufacturers.

Now the problem is that no-mesh repairs are no taught anymore in college, I also heard the problem with no-mesh repair is the high risk of recurrence.

Hopefully one day new studies or solution will come to all of us (herniators)

[USER=”2956″]peter13[/USER] sorry for the bad news, doctors will tell “you can go back to exercise after 2 or 4 or 6 weeks and have your normal routine” but I don’t believe it (it’s my opinion), you are going to get yourself hurt, so it’s up to you how much do you want to risk yourself….
Good luck!

[USER=”2854″]localCivilian[/USER] thanks for clarifying! I was talking about Inguinal Hernia.

I am not an expert or a doctor but I want to give my opinion, if you leave it like that probably it will get bigger and for repair it seems there are 2 options:

1 Pure tissue repair, only few doctors do it, you will need to find an expert.
Pros: no chronic pain
Cons: high risk of recurrence

2 Mesh: Most of the doctors will accept to put a mesh on you, (it seems they get gifts and money from mesh manufacturers)
A Open
Pros: less risk of recurrence, easy to remove the mesh.
Cons: It seems some people have chronic pain

B Laparoscopic
Pros: less risk of recurrence
Cons: It seems some people have chronic pain, difficulties removing the mesh

Good luck

[patient]

for me it started on the left side and after a year I had it on both sides and they got bigger, go to a hernia specialist, (they will try you to convince to put mesh in), do more research about the repairs. good luck!

[patient]

I am not a doctor or an expert, but in my opinion if you wait it will get bigger and it might be a complicated surgery, if you get repaired now, there are 2 types of surgery:

1 Pure tissue repair, only few doctors do it, you will need to find an expert.
Pros: no chronic pain
Cons: high risk of recurrence

2 Mesh: Most of the doctors will accept to put a mesh on you, (it seems they get gifts and money from the mesh manufacturers)
A Open
Pros: less risk of recurrence, easy to remove the mesh.
Cons: It seems some people have chronic pain, l

B Laparoscopic
Pros: less risk of recurrence
Cons: It seems some people have chronic pain, difficulties removing the mesh

I haven’t had my operation yet, whatever path you choose you won’t be able to be as active as you are now.

[patient]

[USER=”2944″]mattl[/USER] don’t lose your time with primary care? Go to a specialist in hernias, I spent 1 year going to primary care and general surgeons, they weren’t able to diagnose.
Go to a hernia specialist.
Whatever path choose for surgery, mesh is chronic pain and no-mesh repair is high risk of reoccurrence.
good luck!

Tomas from Desarda failed –> https://www.herniatalk.com/10935-post-desarda-repair

[patient]

hi [USER=”2944″]mattl[/USER] open a new topic, this was related something different. Thanks!

[patient]

My guess is you are talking about absorbable sutures versus non absorbable in no-mesh repairs?

This is only my opinion. I am not a doctor or an expert.

Shouldice hospital is the only one using non-absorbables sutures, and it seems they are the best in no-mesh inguinal repairs. The rates speak by themselves.
I think there are multiple doctors around they claim to do shouldice technique, but they have modified they technique since they are not using non-absorbables sutures.

[patient]

I don’t know about the insurances, but regarding the TV ads for class action lawsuits are all scams, there are multiples groups on facebook , there is noone with any success history for lawsuits.

[patient]

[USER=”2941″]texan[/USER] thanks for sharing your experience, I am glad you have a good surgery and a good recovery, it is amazing after only 4 weeks for pure tissue repair you are ready to be active again. Just be careful, the downside of the pure tissue repair is the high risk of recurrence.

I don’t believe people with post hernia operation can be active as before anymore, but I hope your problem is not serious, issues with post mesh repairs can be many and very serious. Did you talk to your doctor? they say you can be active as before but I don’t think it is true and somehow you will be get injured again if you try to be active.

[patient]

Thanks for sharing your experience and for being a good member contributing with your knowledge and opinions!
Hope you continue doing well!

First of all I am not an expert or a doctor, so this is just my opinion, it seems when you have a hernia in one side it’s most likely you are going to develop a hernia in the opposite side.
Tell your doctor you want to have kids and this might impact in the solution he/she approach it.
