So very sorry for all the pain and grief you've been through due to mesh.

REMOVE ALL THE MESHES

Helpless in Toronto🙏🇨🇦

You mentioned you had the other operation in the end. Can you tell me which one that was. I'm slatted for the mesh. Not going to have it. Thanks for this video. I'm sorry for all the you have gone through.
