How does VSG work if you've previously had an incisional hernia repair with mesh?

Asked By:stephtoph in Savannah, GA

Will the surgeon need to cut through the mesh to get to my stomach? Can the mesh be re-sewn? (Will that be as painful as the first surgery? Will inflating my abdomen stretch the mesh out or cause it to tear away from my lower abdomen (where csection scar is)?
