Has anyone seen the ads about defective mesh? I had two hernias repaired in 2014. Both hernias were repaired with mesh,one was around my stoma on the left side.The other is on my rigfht side. They both have come back. I have alot of pain that lasts about a half hour if I eat too big of a meal so much that I can hardly walk. Once my intestine untangles the pain leaves. The surgeon says I need to get them repaired,but I should try to lose 35lb because he would do it laprascopitly and it would be easier on me and him if he didn't have as much fat to go thru. I've lost 26lb so far. Has anyone else had this problem and do you think I should call the 800 number for the lawsuit against the mesh company?<
