A member asked:
Is it possible to move my hernia mesh after surgery. how will i know of it has moved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normally: The mesh is fixed in place to repair the hernition. If it "moving" then something abnormal is going on and you should follow up with your surgeon to make sure all is ok. Best of luck
