    I feel very sorry for the 36 unsuspecting women that had the vaginal surgery.  Their implant is a ticking timebomb. Statistically 3 or 4 will experience complications associated specifically with the mesh implant.

    Specifically, the FDA warned that about 1 in 10 women with transvaginal mesh have developed or would develop serious injuries that would necessitate corrective surgery and potentially even extraction of the vaginal mesh sling within one year of implantation. According to the FDA, in the worst cases, multiple revision surgeries were needed to treat the extensive, severe injuries caused by bladder mesh slings.
