Question:
What is recommended for someone who has had 2 hernia repairs with the stitch?

What about the mesh patch repair for hernias in gastric bypass patients? I heard too many horror stories.    — jwcherries (posted on December 22, 2007)

The mesh appears to work fine. The ideal way to avoid hernia repairs is get LAP surgery. About 1/3 of opens get at least one hernia LAP the rate is near zero. This from my surgeon dr philip schauer
