PE1865/GG - Suspend all surgical mesh and fixation devices

I am a 52 year old woman whose life has been ruined by mesh.

In 2010 I received a Tension-free Vaginal Tape Obturator (TVTO) for incontinence. I believe that I was not fully informed of the dangers of mesh. In 2015, I went to have the mesh fully removed. However only 5.5 cm of a piece of mesh which measured at 19cm to 22cm was removed. I have ongoing issues with mesh. I have been left in chronic pain, unable to have sexual relations with my husband and I have to walk with crutches. Please suspend all surgical mesh and fixation devices.
