I'm a 43yr old female , I had a abd hernia repair in 2005 with a mesh patch used, recently I have unexplained abd symptoms..first of all let me mention when I had the surgery within 3 weeks it was infected the suture line would not close and and an internal abd suture that was suppose to desolve kept sticking out, then that was removed ,I was put on antiobitocs and it closed, reccently I have had unexplained various abd syptoms within the past year , a low b12 so low I need to give myself b12 injections every 2 weeks I have had and abd US they haven't called with the results, I am fatuigued extremley blaoted esp after meals, excuse me but extrememly foal smelling gas..I can't button any of my pants anymore..my abd is so huge esp after meals I look at least 6mo. pregnant I feel as it will pop..I have various bowel movements, some yellow, some reg in color, but mostly flaky and diarrhea and upper abd pain, I wake up every morning, with the need to have a BM..and early I have at least 4-5..the pain is not bad or bm's if I don't eat but I am becoming depressed and this is no way to live..I also have indigestion in am before meals (ON AN EMPTY STOAMCH!)..and after heartburn, and my stomach feels like it's on fire after eating..my doctor has given me an RX for flagyl ,he's thinking it maybe and intestinal colitis, of some kind,or IBS... but hey ,this has been going on for 6 mo the flagyl did not work..then he ordered an ultrasound and from the labs seen my b12 was so low, I have it seems ia disfigured belly, a bump where the surgery was and off to the left, the size of an egg.that's where it hurts, when it hurts)..I have nauseau , at times..I feel this is all so coincidental and started surfing the internet and found this re: mesh patches!! it 's unbelievable..I think there may be a connection., that or from surfing I have s/s of ovarian cancer YIKES (cuz I haven't had a gyn check in 2 yrs.) HELP is there a doc out there that can give his opnion asap.! suffering. Also.. if I may add aprox 2 mo ago the patch blew the Hernia returned but is reducible , pops out on the other side,( before the mesh it was the right side) when bending over or lifting, having bm.Iniatially it first popped out again aprox 2mo agao,when I was in a sitting and bent over to paint my toes, it was painful hard to stand , I put pressure on it and continued to rub the area and push until it went in, I was very sore in the area for few days, when I have abd pain it's to the LUQ and mid epigastric, and umblical area .The pain and stool is unbearable in the morning, and I'm beginnning to have no appetite afraid of the extreme uncomfortable blaoting.,after meals, and pain.
