Hi Jenn,
I have had a lower bowel resection, a hysterectomy and hernia surgery with a mesh all in the same year. It was 10 years ago.
I had the same concerns as you have and went and met with the vascular surgeon. He eased all my worries and said there were no concerns. I think he was looking forward to figuring out how he could manuver around my mesh.
Good luck
