30cm x 30cm Ethicon prolene mesh victim

Posted , 2 users are following.

April 2017 I had emergency surgery as was told I had strangulated bowel which had come through abdominal wall in 2 places. The surgery was planned and done at 4pm that day. I had already had a further 3 abdominal surgeries, one for hysterectomy and endometriosis was diagnosed.

Then an 8cm cyst attached to ovary ruptured causing microscope ovarian remnant syndrome. Again this was emergency surgery. A year later I was talked into being reopened as there were so many issues. Bowel and bladder had to unstuck by specialist as well as so much endometrial tissue removed.

The first year of the hernia surgery I was admitted to hospital 8 times but treated as a fraud. Even sending a psychiatrist to my hospital bed. I had a seroma which was aspirated but returned.

I spend 90% in bed and was life is non existent. I desperately need to have this mesh removed. My GP referred me to a Prof Nott in London well over 8 months ago only to recently find out they never received. Funding not available on the NHS now. I have reached rock bottom because each day more and more symptoms arise and although my GP comes to see me every week and does acupuncture she does not really know what to do. Please can someone help and guide me
