I have done research on hernias, cuase I myself may have one. I have read that hernias can reoccur in the same spot becuase scar tissue can become reopen again and the intestine falls back through the weakened stomach/groin (where ever it may be). I have read about the mesh ( I dont know how common it is in practice, most I beleive use stitching which has a higher occurance of happening again). The mesh from what I understand is supposed to be a one time thing. It was designed to make it safer and easier on the patient and to reduce the number or possibility of reoccurance. Mesh is also supposed to be more comfortable for the patient but I havent read anything on mesh haveing problems like stitching does. If nothing else try another doctors opinion, maybe your first doctor just put the mesh in wrong or didnt secure it properly into place. I am not saying that you need a new doctor but mesh is a pretty new procedure and is not as widley used as the old brutal stiching method. I wil note that mesh is supposed to be safe for all people, even elderly who are otherwise unable to have hernia repair due to the faster healing process and less pain after operation. Also the mesh is supposed to be strong enough to withstand pressure and force. It is possible however that scar tissue has seperated if the mesh was not covering the entire incision area. Hope this helped though it is just my opinion.

Mark ..... I'm 35 yr old woman and I have had 8 hernia's and with 5 operations that still have not stop them from occuring. I am getting ready to have yet another operation for repair. I know how you feel, trust me! I wish I could tell you that it gets better but I just wanted to let you know you are not alone and I know the frustration you are going thu.

does it effect if your stomach is big during surgery i mean the dr said can not do the surgery due to the weight of stomach who true is that
