In 2015 I had a hernia repair. My body rejected the mesh that was implanted and it became infected. 10 days later I was back on the operating table for a 2nd surgery due to severe pain and throwing up infection and bowel. They had to remove part of my small intestine. Mesh was removed and another one was inplanted. Barely 18 months later the hernia is back and an abdominal wall reconstruction surgery is highly recommended by my doctor. Due to the complexity of this surgery will I survive?
