Irish politicians take note. This offer came to our shores first and was ignored: @sean_haughey @TommyBroughanTD @SimonHarrisTD @campaignforleo @MichealMartinTD @MaryLouMcDonald @bridsmithTD @RoisinShortall @rtenews @HSELive @ClareDalyTD @AnnBoni1 @senatornoone @SeanCroweTD

The UCLH surgeon has already admitted in a tweet they cannot remove all the mesh so it is a pointless exercise to remove mesh injured women from a support group with all the upset that entails

[Ann Boni @AnnBoni1]

So sad when women are thrown off a support group when they need help. Especially when they are telling the truth @SusanMorgan19 @gina_knows @MeshiesU @TVTMum @Carolyn68250628 @BevHolt1 @IMMDSReview

[Ann Boni @AnnBoni1]

A lot more people have been jettisoned from STM for saying that mesh does not shrink and that the UCLH surgeon only does a partial removal on an obturator mesh. I just don't understand that behaviour Why are they putting this surgeon on a pedestal and protecting them?

[Anne-Marie McDermott 🇮🇪🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 @electric_11]

As regards losing engagement from surgeons, @MeshCampaign has single handedly done more damage to mesh injured women than #mesh will ever do by doing what they did to @DrVeronikis by questioning his intentions. I have never met a more honourable human.

@moopudding @AnnBoni1 @ElneilSuzy @DrVeronikis @honeyball69 @MaryRMcLaughlin @Carolyn68250628 @electric_11 Are there once again consent issues here? Women left with significant mesh in situ, when consent states full removal, only to find themselves facing further trauma and complex surgery. New guidelines need to reflect and change needs to come.

Strong #mesh advocate voices targeted. 'Discuss' threads to stir toxic comments behind 'closed' doors. Shares, likes, vile words. Mud slinging and publishing to 1000s. @electric_11 @IrisHen43893489 @AnnBoni @channing_stella @MBLacey @CazChisholm @noacy @moopudding @IMMDSReview

@gina_knows I am fairly new to viewing it ( I only sought support for mesh issues around June this year). I had to say something but now I see that proper dialogue is not really being had I’ll stop. I agree with you that no one should be blocked (either position) - it never helps!

[Mesh Ireland @MaryRMcL1]

@KathSansom global #mesh community is asking whether you penned the offending tweet about @DrVeronikis? Twitter account is in your name? If not, can the author owe up - we would like to know @MBLacey @AnnBoni1 @miJemima @channing_stella @CazChisholm @TammyJa54001341

@LaughAnil @AnnBoni1 @DamianMurtagh1 @moopudding @gina_knows @MBLacey @KarenPreater @channing_stella @miJemima @MeshUKCT @MeshAwarenessAU @DrVeronikis @LaughAnil you are missing the point I think. @WaelAgur has a list of declared conflicts as long as your arm but @meshcampaign have no issue with that. Why is @DrVeronikis being targeted for his declared conflicts? No support from @meshcampaign in this matter. As simple as that.

[Mesh Ireland @MaryRMcL1]

#Mesh group politics aside. Solidarity needed for @IrelandMesh campaign to bring @DrVeronikis to patients. @electric_11 @IrisHen43893489 @AnnBoni1 @gina_knows @moopudding @MBLacey @KarenPreater @miJemima @meshsurvivorire @meshgirlni @MeshiesUnited @MeshUKCT @TVTMum

@AnnBoni1 @DrVeronikis @BevHolt1 @channing_stella @MaryRMcLaughlin @WAPMSG @MeshAwarenessAU @Herniadoc @ladymcbeth2 @APMSGT Transparency is key. We have gained hugely from @DrVeronikis presence on Twitter. Women are now better placed to make an informed decision about removal. We didn't previously have a surgeon willing to be so generous with time and knowledge, so we're deeply appreciative.

@AnnBoni1 @waelagur @urohash @DrVeronikis @Smilealot13 @IrisHen43893489 @BevHolt1 @MaryRMcLaughlin @roofus @chrisharding123 @ElneilSuzy @TamsinGreenwel1 @Natalia44723101 @UrogynaeDrPC @MBLacey @Carolyn68250628 @SusanMorgan19 @MeshiesUnited IMO, any high volume #mesh removal surgeon who is removing the same brands of mesh on a daily basis should not tell a patient that due to shrinkage, 6cm is a full removal. That's a blatant lie. No question about it.

@waelagur @urohash @DrVeronikis @Smilealot13 @IrisHen43893489 @BevHolt1 @MaryRMcLaughlin @roofus @chrisharding123 @ElneilSuzy @TamsinGreenwel1 @Natalia44723101 @UrogynaeDrPC @electric_11 @MBLacey @Carolyn68250628 @SusanMorgan19 @MeshiesUnited Surgeons who remove mesh should be pretty clear by now if the material stretches or shrinks. Surely if you are carrying out a full removal the removal surgeons should know roughly how much mesh they have to remove. In my case 5cms does not constitute a full removal now does it?

[Anne-Marie McDermott 🇮🇪🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 @electric_11]

@DrVeronikis @roofus @Natalia44723101 @waelagur @AnnBoni1 Complete=Total=Entire=All. Partial removal of #mesh is none of these. Complete is all parts, not just removal from urethra. If a surgeon can remove it all, do it once and do it all, otherwise leave it alone @MaryRMcLaughlin @chrisharding123 @urohash @ElneilSuzy @JanUrban12

Subject of a very recent discussion with @DrVeronikis so input from other removal surgeons would be appreciated @urohash @chrisharding123 @ElneilSuzy @AnnBoni1 @MaryRMcLaughlin @Carolyn68250628 @BevHolt1 @gina_knows @torjur

[Ann Boni @AnnBoni1]

Most of the MDT centres in the UK do not have the skills or the experience to treat mesh injured women. They urgently need training to execute full mesh removals so women do not continue to suffer for the rest of their lives.

[Ann Boni @AnnBoni1]

Tamsin Greenwell of UCHL MDT stated "I have not removed a TVTO type tape in its entirety as this would be extremely destructive" What are women meant to do then! This is a joke!
