Reservoir migration

[Mat001]

Hi all,

Edit: disregard… it is actually fluid build up. There might be an infection but my doc is not sure. Hopefully it will resolve on its own

******************************

I am 2 weeks out of surgery and had a strange bulging on the upper right side of my pubis. Had a lot of pain and initially thought it was fluid, but my doc now thinks the reservoir may have migrated. Note that I had a bilateral hernia repair, but it’s a bit hard to the touch so I think it’s some kind of component. I just did a ct scan, so we will find out. Did this happen to any of you? Is it difficult to fix? And how long would have have to wait?

Thanks!

Keep us posted on how this goes. I am also 2 weeks post op like you, and also had inguinal hernia repair (laparoscopic).

Whas your repair laparoscopic too? What model/size implant do you have and which doctor?

Yes I had a laparoscopic hernia repair (bilateral)
My Doc is a bit puzzled but he said he may need to take the implant out.
I have a lot of swelling and pain in the shaft and pubis (which is coming from the reservoir placement).
Also temperature wise I have no fever at night or in the morning, but my temperature systematically raises to low grade fever like 99.5f in the late afternoon/ evening). Also the pain is worth in the evening.
I will see my doc again on Monday.

He is high volume implanter, but I prefer not to disclose his name. I trust him in any case. He is been very responsive and following up closely.
And thanks for the good energies , much needed!
Good luck with your recovery
