I had signed up with a law firm to be a part of their class action suit and was told in October of 2007 that the patch that was used in my surgery was not one that was recalled. I haved checked the list of recalls and it seems that the patch used was among those recalled. When I contacted another law firm, I was told that I was too late because I only had two years to file a claim. Do I have any recourse? Is there any way that that time frame might be extended in some cases? I have had two surgeries and am still facing another one soon because of this unfortunate circumstance.

I had severe stomach problems 2 days after comming home I had to return to have my stomach pumped out. About six weeks later the same thing. I've had problems every since it seems that my stomach just shuts down and I can not pass gas or anything, and there is much more. I received a letter not long ago from VA asking me about the operation and I told them about the problems after the surgery but I never heard anything back from them. Thanks, William H.

At this time, we are investigating claims for individuals who recieved specific types of hernia repair mesh manufacturered by Bard/Davol which was manufactured after 2002. Therefore, it appears that your problems would be unrelated to the design problems which led to this recall. However, you should speak with your physician if you have continuing medical concerns regarding the hernia repair. Steve, I am sorry to hear about your hernia repair problems.

I have tenderness in the areas involved, itching, prostate problems, nausa, constipation, chest pains, stomach aches daily, just generally feel crappy. I have seen many doctors over the years and have had many trips to the emergency room, they could never pin point what the problem is. The same company (Bard) made the patches that were put in me and I feel they could be making me ill. Pease inform me if you think I could have a claim against the company. Thank You.
