General Surgeon,  's  Response
It is possible that if the mesh is removed you may get an incisional hernia.This again will require surgery. However, if the mesh is really hurting you, it still can be removed and alternative techniques of surgery done with proline sutures, to prevent an hernia happening after removal of the mesh. But please only go in for such a surgery if you are in real discomfort.
