I have an left inguinal hernia that has been confirmed by an MRI & a CT Scan . It is supposed to be small. I have surgery scheduled for Mar 18, 2013. Changing the date at this point would be difficult but not changing doctors. The surgeon is highly recommended & he is the same surgeon that did surgery on my son a few years ago, so we know him, however he wants to use mesh & I don t want mesh. I was attracted to your web site because I was looking for a doctor that doesn t use mesh. What is your advice? I live in Maryland. Jean
