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

@thedesert

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%.

I believe my surgery went well. I just had it on Friday. Had mesh on left side. Today I am feeling more pain than yesterday, probably because numbness wearing off. I also feeling quite bloated. But overall doing good so far.
