My first hernia was in 2008.  It was repared with mesh.  My second one was in 2012 and 6 months later the third. Both treated with mesh. Here I am again with two more hernias and a mesh that is torn and stuck to my intestines.  The doctors are worried about fistulas?  I am not sure I want to risk it.  What options do I have?

    You only have the options the doctors give you.  Listen to them, they know what they are doing.  I hope all goes well for you.
