I'm a mature nursing student and am due to return to placement ( district nursing so not too heavy) 5 weeks after the operation. Looking at the treads on here am worried I won't be recovered enough? Am 50, recovered quickly from hysterectomy 7 years ago so was hoping to do same this time! Am I being unrealistic?

I also know a friend of my daughter who had a mesh repair years ago and has had no problems at all.
I know their were lots of surgeons being sued in the USA, but had heard that many were not trainef properly.
Had also heard they had banned the use of mesh here until such time as surgeons are properly trained on procedures; so it makes sense what you are saying Matron.
Really good to know that the NHS is monitoring these procedures and restricting who does them, that way we are all in safer hands.

If my repair fails in 10 years time and I have too much scar tissue, would they be able to do repair with mesh/some of that bio-stuff from cells and tissues from elsewhere?

Thank you matron, I do hope my repair lasts long enough at least till even better techniques are available and surgeons can do them with eyes closed.
Seriously though really glad we live in UK with such a good health service and where our medical staff are some of the best in the world.
I stop worrying now about future and concentrate on making sure thus repair is a success and being extra careful to ensure it lasts.
