It's really sad that health care companies will push a risky procedure on people to make money. People need to be aware of the risks. If there is a 10% chance of complications, it's not worth it.

When receiving a vaginal mesh sling 9 years ago; a 56 year old lady in the bed opposite me was there for the third time: After the first operation, the mesh protruded into her bladder. The second procedure she said, was unsuccessful; with her incontinence symptoms persisting. For me the operation only helped for 2-3 years before incontinence/Diabetes Insipidus-like condition returned - as it was before - during the day, as well as disrupting my sleep at night. Fortunately I was able to help myself to recover naturally by using targetted supplements, detoxification methods and by implementing various life style changes. Would not advise anyone to undergo any surgical procedure that deposits plastic material permanently into the body.

it is a shame that MESH PATIENTS DON'T GET TO LOOK AT THE DAMN INSERT OR DIRECTIONS OR WARNINGS......this is both women and men with tvt and hernia.....

20 minutes has led to the rest of my life being affected especially with chronic pain and not able to work. I am a registered nurse!

These meshes that tear through body through vjj need to be banned

I had the operation 8 years ago. Worked so well but a year ago started getting chronic pain and two uti every month for a year. Going to see surgeon next week. I pray they can help me. I am nearly bed ridden all the time and am oxicotin everyday.

This is not a group of fringe patients. These horrific results are not uncommon. Please save your families and do not have this surgery.

I have suffered for years this year I had to have reconstruction of my eurtha Oxford had cut out my eurtha and I wasn't told left the mesh in was told to go to London were Mr okrim did the operation I was only told by him that I didn't have a urtha I was shocked I didn't believe it they cut my ureatha I cried when I was told Mr okrim said it was like doing a Jigsaw to reconstruct it and it might not work I'm incontinent worse now please stop putting us through this

To all those having problems..pls see a lawyer. This is a class action suit that has been awarded millions of dollars for victims to split. I hope that woman can get money to get surgery to help pain etc.

They put it in and won't take it out. That is the name of my shout shout shout! Hear all about it on Get the Mesh Out! facebook group.

I got a inguinal hernia while having sex. 15 years ago. the mesh from the surgery is affecting me in many ways. i need to get it out

I had a replaced diafram 30 years ago now it is giving me chronic infection and I am practically controlling it with antibiotics . Can anyone please tell me about a similar experience and where I can go to seek specialized medical advice in Europe? 🙏🏻

This has happened to me. i am due a op to remove the mesh and am very worried.

I just had ureatha construction done Oxford cut my ureatha out and left the mesh in I didn't know until ulch did the reconstruction I couldn't be leave it they never told me

I was seriously considering sling surgery, but not so much now.

They're making too much money from mesh, that's why it's not banned.

I was on the gurney when I changed my mind.

well thats nothing to what has happend to me since 2005 i have had three meshinplants done and had to havea bladder stone removed this year in feb 2019 i cant believe i was left 2 years waiting to have the bladder stone removed i was on oro morph for that time i could not walk i just screamed in pain that was in swindon i have just had to go to oxford and had a camara to see what they have done to me i did not have one mesh but they found three meshes in side me and its eroded in side my auretha i am going in to have it taken out as soon as the consultant has spoken to his colleges he was shocked at what he has found . yes the bladder stone was the size of a lemon. why didnt the urolgist notice it was in side when he got the stone out . i have another one growing now in side the aureatha . waiting to go back this month . please if any one suggest to have a tvt dont do it

Money... that is all

I was one of the youngest to have the mesh here in the United States at 32 years old. I had it due to sexual abuse and martial rape. Total pelvic floor prolapse. I am disabled as a result and made fun of because I can no longer work and worry about my body rejecting the material or it embedding into my organs
