Re: hernia

Hi Mick, Sorry to hear about your probs with the hernias. There is a
scheme for hernia repairs which involves strengthening the damages area
with a type of man made mesh.......This is being replaced with a mesh
made from our friend the pig. Perhaps you should ask your surgeon if
that might be available for you.
