Earlier this year, I had gall bladder removal, then... double hernia surgery. The surgeon put in double mesh on both sides. 8 weeks post op; the right side top mesh had rolled up, and had to be removes. Also put 3 stitches in the muscle ring again, to tighten it up more. Now... 11 weeks post op; The bottom piece of mesh has also rolled up... with severe pain developing... will the same thing happen, later... on the left side ???? Geeze !!!!!!!!!!!!

    You poor thing, I feel for you. I have had major emergency surgery for a twisted bowel in September this year only to get home from hospital to discover I had also developed a large inguinal hernia, this was operated on also, with mesh and I have had ongoing pain and discomfort due to nerve damage. I got a second opinion with another surgeon who has referred me to a pain specialist for evaluation and possible radio frequency ablation or more surgery (last resort to cut nerves and trim mesh). I hope not the latter. I would advise you to get a second opinion regarding your hernia repairs. Both sides having a complication with mesh does not sound an acceptable outcome. Best of luck and in the meantime keep on top of your pain and talk with someone who can sympathise with your situation,
