Thinking about titanium vs. your surgical mesh as being potential problems for your body, you might want to get on Rich's other site and read about biofilm infections. Titanium is typically thought to be non-reactive in the body. That isn't always true but it is typically. Surgical meshes, though, can form biofilm infections and serve as an irritant due to the infection, even though the mesh itself is inert. Rich's got a lot of good information about biofilms and you can learn enough to at least start asking the questions there. I may be leading you astray but learning and questioning is always worthwhile. Getting surgeries when you didn't need to do so, that's probably not so worthwhile.
