She ended up having 6 surgeries and she is still in pain. I agree with Kathy189 and LaurenC, vaginal mesh should be recalled. I have a question though. Is it a vaginal mesh or a vaginal sling?

Within a couple of months I started to experience a lot of pain. It was so painful that I wasn't able to have sex with my husband. I went to by OB when the mesh began to extrude from my vagina. The OB recommended removal surgery and when they went in they saw that I had an advanced infection and the mesh began to cut into my bladder. I am now in recovery but I blame Bard and their Avaulta mesh for my pain. I hope they pay for what they did. They should recall all vaginal mesh!!
