The Mesh Deception

As I lay awake, unable to sleep, my body aches, making me weep. Since my mesh was implanted, I’ve been disenchanted.

Stabbing pains in my tummy, make me feel crummy. Unable to bend, unable to mend. I can’t believe, I was part of a trend.

Two years in, and I can’t ignore,
The slicing of soft tissue, the pain I abhore. As the mesh erodes, what should I expect? To puncture my vagina? my bladder? Or urethra too? I pray not my colon but it’s easy to do.

So until my mesh is removed, what can I do? Boost my immune system to fight infection, and bring awareness, to the mesh deception.

“The Gold Standard” he said, I rerun in my head. “A high success rate”, I repeat, to fix my wee leak.

Mesh implantation, has been a devastation. Leaving me unable to bend, walk far or run, I’m no longer a whole lot of fun. I have to take care, lest I embed, the mesh in an organ or make an unnecessary tear.

The pain never stops, the anxiety abounds. Removal isn’t easy, doctors aren’t even trained. Whoever constructed this, was clearly insane.

Manufacturers know the truth you see, as mesh kills women around the globe, annually.

Unfortunately for families effected, mesh is a travesty. Moms die, leaving children behind, with broken hearted husbands, who curse the mesh industry.

Pray for our women, disabled by mesh. Most suffer in silence, at great dispense.

Health Canada Issues Mesh Warning In 2014

After Australia’s ban last week, Mesh victims around the globe watch Scotland and the UK with excitement in the anticipation that the practice of using mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse will be permanently banned, women in Canada are wondering when will it be Canada’s turn to ban mesh implants? 

Health Canada’s Mesh Warning Issued In 2014

Despite Health Canada’s Mesh Warning issued on May 13, 2014, mesh implants are STILL being installed. This is utterly preposterous. Without any reservation, Dr. Sean Deacon in Chilliwack, B.C., installed an implant in this writer on September 10, 2015. Now, this writer is being stabbed internally by mesh as well as a slew of other complications.

Why have Dr. Deacon, as well as other doctors and surgeons practicing in Canada, not bothered to inform their patients of the Health Canada warning? Why have they not made other recommendations that do not involve surgery?

Please help bring awareness to this issue by sharing this post, by sharing this website, and by filling out the MEDICAL DEVICE CONSUMER COMPLAINT with HEALTH CANADA. Without people reporting their trauma, Health Canada will NOT make a recall. You need to use your voice and let them know ALL that has been happening to you or your loved one since the mesh implant.

Report Mesh Issues To Health Canada

If you or someone you love is facing health issues after a mesh hernia or transvaginal mesh implant operation, please report as much information, including manufacturer, as you can to Health Canada so that we can try to get MESH BANNED IN CANADA.

Health Canada has issued WARNINGS about the use of mesh but have NOT issued a RECALL or BAN at this time. The only way that will happen is if YOU report issues.
