Fundoplication problems?

I agree. I had mine for several years without any problems. Then I had a year of misery. I was even aspirating in my sleep. You will know. I had to have it done. But there's always a risk when you have a serious surgery. Just like my laminectomy. It didn't work but I needed to do something. I'm hoping my doctor contacts me when she gets back from her vacation. Now on CT scan they found the mesh is protruding into my chest cavity. I'm really hoping she used the dissolvable mesch because I can't do this again.

This is not good. What's a laminectomy? Maybe you need a new dr?

I had mesh used for my inguinal hernia at age 16. I would have said I had no problems. But now with 17 yrs of CIC and learning that abdominal adhesions of any kind ( from prior surgeries, trauma (twin birth at age 20, both were full size, I lost 15 lbs puking 10-15x day, then gained 190lbs in 5 months) my stomach lining was quite literally ripping apart and a huge c-section major infection in scar), endometriosis, possibly the mesh can all attack the colon(and replicate like an alien invasion)and make 💩💩💩 a living hell. Keep tabs on your mesh.
