Am also anticipating bilteral surgery. My preference was non-mesh, Shouldice surgery, but must now swith gears and proceed with mesh. There are options, which include, dissolvable, etc. What type did you receive? How big was it? Did it cover both sides? Have you experienced residual pain? Thxs.

I wanted to follow up on your surgery. How was it?

I had mesh on both sides. My surgeon pre-op said this newer mesh isn’t the same mesh you saw on lawsuit commercials. Take that however you’d like. Sometimes if I twist a certain way I can feel it tug and it may feel a little a bit uncomfortable, but it’s extremely minimal pain. Per my surgeon, the mesh is supposed to last a lifetime and the chance of a recurrence is around 1-2%.
