1000′s of women nationwide have had their lives seriously altered due to the vaginal mesh. The vaginal mesh has caused  their  live’s to become a physical and psychological downward spiral. We have spoken to women with complications that would make anyone outraged at these manufacturers. Women have lost jobs, careers, husbands , boyfriends and fiancees. Below is one women whose future went up in smoke.

AMS Transvaginal Mesh Victim Says Engagement Is Off

May 4, 2013, 10:30:00AM. By Jane Mundy

Seattle, WA: Debbie says that her engagement is off because of her American Medical Systems (AMS) transvaginal mesh implant. “I haven’t been able to have sexual activity with my fiancé without both of us experiencing pain and I don’t blame him for breaking off our engagement,” she says.

Debbie (not her real name) had the AMS transvaginal mesh implanted to treat urinary incontinence. But that has now become the least of her problems. “For the past year or so, I’ve had chronic pelvic pain, which is getting worse, and recurring bladder infections,” she adds. “Because of the inability to have sexual intimacy with my fiancé, I am also suffering from depression and weight gain – this transvaginal mesh has caused my life to become a physical and psychological downward spiral.

“Not only is my overall health suffering, but I am also in financial straights due to all the time I have missed from work, getting tests and lab work and trying to find a doctor to take out this mesh – I don’t think that my doctor knows what to do.”

Debbie knows the mesh has to be removed but at the same time she is frightened at the thought of more surgery.

In March 2013, a New Jersey Superior Court jury awarded Linda Gross, a registered nurse, and her husband, Jeff Gross, $11.1 million in compensatory and punitive damages ($7.76 million in punitive damages) in the first transvaginal mesh trial in the country. (In re Pelvic Mesh/Gynecare Litigation, Master Docket No.: ATL-6341-10, Case No. 291.) At the six-week trial, Ms. Gross, age 47, testified that she had 18 subsequent unsuccessful revision procedures following her initial transvaginal mesh surgery.

Ms Gross said that the transvaginal mesh had made her life after surgery a “living hell,” and she has characterized herself and thousands of other women who were implanted with TVM as “guinea pigs” to the vaginal mesh manufacturers. Her attorneys argued that Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon deserved to be held financially responsible to the fullest extent of the law for their actions. The jury agreed, and found that the gigantic drugmaker failed to provide adequate warnings. Further, they determined that the TVM maker intentionally committed fraud against Linda Gross regarding the transvaginal mesh.

An American Medical Systems TVM lawsuit was filed on January 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, Charleston Division (Case No. 2:13-cv-01083). This suit is just one of a multitude of lawsuits pending in the multidistrict litigation (MDL) entitled In Re: American Medical Systems, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2325).

You Must file your vaginal mesh lawsuit right away. Many states with 2 year statutes will be up July 2013.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline is keeping you up to date on all news related to vaginal mesh lawsuits, Incontinence and vaginal mesh complications and trial updates. This new FDA approval of Botox for urinary incontinence is very interesting. Many mesh victims are seeing incontinence return with the vaginal mesh failing and falling apart.  This news on Botox may be of interest to our vaginal mesh readers.

January 18, 2013 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today expanded the approved use of Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) to treat adults with overactive bladder who cannot use or do not adequately respond to a class of medications known as anticholinergics.

Overactive bladder is a condition in which the bladder squeezes too often or squeezes without warning. Symptoms include leaking urine (urinary incontinence), feeling the sudden and urgent need to urinate, and frequent urination.

When Botox is injected into the bladder muscle, it causes the bladder to relax, increasing the bladder’s storage capacity and reducing episodes of urinary incontinence. Injecting the bladder with Botox is performed using cystoscopy, a procedure that allows a doctor to visualize the interior of the bladder while Botox is being injected.

“Clinical studies have demonstrated Botox’s ability to significantly reduce the frequency of urinary incontinence,” said Hylton V. Joffe, M.D., director of the Division of Reproductive and Urologic Products in FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Today’s approval provides an important additional treatment option for patients with overactive bladder, a condition that affects an estimated 33 million men and women in the United States.”

Botox’s safety and effectiveness for this new indication were established in two clinical trials of 1,105 patients with symptoms of overactive bladder. Patients were randomly assigned to receive injections of 100 units of Botox (20 injections of 5 units each) or placebo.

Results after 12 weeks showed that patients treated with Botox experienced urinary incontinence an average of 1.6 to 1.9 times less per day than patients treated with placebo. Botox-treated patients also needed to urinate on average 1.0 to 1.7 times less per day and expelled an average of about 30 milliliters more urine than those treated with placebo.

Treatment with Botox can be repeated when the benefits from the previous treatment have decreased, but there should be at least 12 weeks between treatments.

Side Effects.

Keep in mind that this could be beneficial or prove to have complications down the road.

Common side effects reported during clinical trials included urinary tract infections, painful urination, and incomplete emptying of the bladder (urinary retention). Patients who develop urinary retention may need to use a catheter until the urinary retention resolves. Patients being treated for overactive bladder with Botox should not have a urinary tract infection and should take antibiotics before, during, and for a few days after Botox treatment to lower the chance of developing an infection from the procedure.

Botox is manufactured by Allergan Inc. based in Irvine, Calif.

A transvaginal mesh is just another name for a vaginal mesh or a bladder sling, They are all Prolene mesh inserted through the vagina for organ prolapse or urinary incontinence. If you have been implanted with a prolene mesh it is a polypropylene Knitted Mesh which is   composeed of monofilament yarns, which were  engineered for the manufacturing of textile fabrics.These are used for hernia mesh , stress urinary bladder slings, and transvaginal prolapse supports.  Polypropylene mesh is marketed under the name Prolene by Ethicon.  Transvaginal polypropylene mesh is  used in the support of pelvic organ prolapse amd urinary incontinence to reinforce a weakened vaginal wall or pelvic floor muscles and ligments that can no longer serve as an organ support system. Great in theory, but not holding up in many women.

The Transvaginal Mesh Problem

It is now shown that the vaginal mesh used by urologogical surgeons, urogynecologists and gynecologists to repair pelvic organ prolapse, cystocele or rectocele and to treat urinary incontinence has serious complications. The manufacturers appear to have been less the honest about the potential complications then they lead us to believe and women are filing lawsuits to obtain compensation for their injuries. The trial dates have been set and the proceedings have begun as part of a massive multi district litigation. Deposition date are being set and the long road to win compensation for injustices to women has begun.

One of the big  problems for women has been finding doctors who understand the nature and scope of the problem and are willing to help women with mesh removal. This mesh was supposed to be permanent.We have been told  that doctors have been insensitive to women  and telling them that estrogen creme will fix the problem  or that their problems are mostly in their head. However, we hear from husbands as well and stories od  the breakup of marriages due to inability to have sexual intercourse. This is not in these women's heads. It is very real and causing severe psychological distress and in some cases even thought of suicide.  If you have the symptoms described on this site realize we have heard from 100's  just like you, The transvaginal mesh injury is real and the complications are real. Nodody can deny the horror stories and some doctors are beginning to come forward and help. It is just so long that this can be denied as thousands are suffering.

The Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits

The trannsvaginal mesh lawsuits have begun and thousands of women from Miami to Houston and From Dalls to Los Angeles and from Phoenix to San Fransisco and NYC to Hartford and Boston and Baltimore and Philadelphia and nationwide are seeking transvaginal mesh help and information. They want to know how to choose a transvaginal mesh lawyer and if they can still file their lawsuit. They hope to get answers to questions like: What does the statute of limitations mean? Why did my doctor not know about the warnings? Why did the manufacturers do this to us and why did the FDA allow it? Has the mesh been recalled yet and if no, why not? Why am I re prolapsing and bleeding  and  why do a feel like razor blades are piercing my insides? What is this I feel in my vagina? it feels like pieces of plastic. They call hoping to get answers support and help. We attempt to locate and doctor and connect them with a transvaginal mesh lawyer. The lawsuits will proceed and we do not want any wowmen with injuries to be left out.

There are so many questions with so few answers as to why the FDA still has not recalled the transvaginal mesh. But, all they can do is file the lawsuit and hope the voice of justice will be heard.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline is gearing up for what they feel is a second round outreach to some of the largest cities in the United States to inform women about the bladder mesh and vaginal mesh class action. "We expect a new wave of T.V ads by lawyers after the election and we are ready."" Women see lawyer ads on T.V and they have alot of questions".Says the helpline medical social worker"."They want to speak to someone they feel safe and comfortable with so they call us". "Women need to understand that they are not alone and the basic concepts of the vaginal mesh district litigation concept."

The vaginal mesh lawsuit proceedings have begun" We want all women to have the opportunity for compensation. We want you to get medical and legal help".Says the helpline representatives. "We have the staff and capacity to help women. We are reaching out to offer  support and guidance"."They just feel more comfortable with a  social worker then a law firm"

The MDL proceedings in West Virginia has begun  against six different vaginal mesh  manufacturers. The vaginal mesh implants cited in the lawsuit are Gynemesh, TVT, the Prolift system, Prolift+M, Prolene Mesh, and the Prosima system.

 Four vaginal mesh MDLs were established to consolidate the mesh lawsuits against these  manufacturers. All of the vaginal mesh MDLs are being overseen by Chief District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of West Virginia. The first vaginal mesh bellwether trial is scheduled to begin on February 5, 2013. The Vaginal Mesh helpline is attempting to locate all women with complications from a vaginal mesh implanted after 2001.
 

The helpline is available 24 hrs, 7 days to help women nationwide. The outreach is starting with the largest cities and it will be quite the undertaking. We are impressed with their mission and especially the time that is spent with each and every woman caller.

This outreach is a massive undertaking for the Vaginal Mesh Helpline. Their mission is clear and they are ready. They expect to be adding 5-10 new cities a week until they have the major cities in the U.S covered.

The first round Vaginal Mesh Outreach  project will be launched in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, Dallas, and San Jose,  This outreach is expected to be done in about a week to ten days.

Second vaginal mesh Outreach Campaign will include:Jacksonville, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Austin, Columbus, Fort Worth, Charlotte, Detroit,  and El Paso,

The Vaginal Mesh information launch will then continue to Baltimore, Boston, Seattle, Washington, DC, Denver, Milwaukee, Portland and, Las Vegas,

Additional vaginal mesh lawsuits  outreach launches  are in the works to commence before the end of the year and are slated for Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Tucson, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Kansas City, Mesa, Virginia Beach, Atlanta, Colorado Springs, Omaha, Raleigh, Miami,  Cleveland, Tulsa, Oakland, Minneapolis, Wichita, and Arlington,

It is amazing how many women  are still wondering waht their complications are from and do not realize it is the mesh until they see a Lawyer ad on T.V. It also amazes us how few doctors there are willing to help and given that so many of these women have lost their jobs and health insurance there are no clinics or programs for them. That is why they must get their due compensation and help in the additional surgeries that they need.mesh,

It seems like every lawyer in the United States is after a woman with a mesh. This is the hottest thing since the Slilcone Breast Implants and most likely bigger and more far reaching. Over 300,000 women in the United States have mesh implants. We speak to women of all ages. My oldest mesh caller  was 86 and my youngest was 28. The mesh  is being surgically implanted  for very simple SUI in young women after child birth. Women are ging in for a hysterectmy and coming out with a mesh. Doctors have been putting them in after the 2008 warning and are still using them today. The vaginal mesh comes under many different names and is marketed by about fifteen manufacturers. A bladder sling is a mesh and many rectoceles ad cystoceles are done with a mesh. Many women have more then one mesh. Some women still do not understand they have a mesh. They have complications and their doctors are sending them home telling them nothing is wrong. There is no shortage of vaginal mesh lawyer T.V ads, mesh email blasts, text message blasts and even direct solicitation. You have a $ sign plastered to your forehead and the pain and suffering can only be understood amongst a sisterhood of mesh sufferers. How do you choose a lawyer? They all sound so good. First, you must be sure they are not referring your case to another law firm. Any and all lawyers will take a mesh case. They will very rarely turn you away. Some may refuse your case for reasons you do not understand after they rushed you to send the packet back. You may call trying to find out what is going on and the response is less then comforting. Do not be alarmed if you get a rejection letter. That may be only one law firms opinion. Some lawyers are just accepting the easy cases. These would be  if the mesh has been removed. This is not always a correct decision since you need to find a doctor who is willing to remove it. This is not the easiest task. The doctor who put it in is most likely not going to be very helplful.

Some Basic Facts

There are leads companies out there sending email blasts and trying to get you to sign with them, They are not lawyers and will be selling you to a lawyer as middlemen. You must use caution.

We can help you in:

The mesh lawsuits are not class action litigations. They are what are known as multi-district litigations. You do not need a local lawyer. What you do need is an experienced lawyer with a history of helping women with prior drug or medical device litigations. You need a law firm with  concerned staff who have answers to the questions you ask.  The Vaginal Mesh Helpline only accepts law firms who have a designated female who knows everything there is to know about the mesh. This could be a female attorney or a mature woman who understands.

We only work with law firms who are experienced mass tort litgators. They must have prior experience with a dangerous drug or device that has become an MDL and has harmed women. All law firms go thru a vigorous interview process. We do not accept all of them. The doctors on our list come from our callers who have had a positive experience with them.

We are proud to have amongst our lawyer network two law firms that were involved in helping women with the silicone breast implant litigations. One of those firms is still helping woman in 2012.  The other was a lead counsel. Some women are still waiting for settlements on these disease claims today. This can give you a sense of  how long it takes and how lives can be turned around when a manufacturer puts profits over people.

Competition For Mesh Clients is Out of Control

Lawyers are after the women who have been injured by the mesh. The internet is over run and the T.V screen filled with vaginal mesh lawyer ads. You must take legal action but, you also need medical help and support. Most law firms will not help you get a doctor.

Call the Vaginal Mesh Helpline and speak to a female medical social worker. Get  support, medical help and legal help. You are not alone.  Read the comments from other mesh victims on this site. You must file a vaginal mesh lawsuit and that must be done quickly, The statute of limitations is running out in many states. For more information call our helpline today.

The vaginal mesh helpline has launched a new campaign reaching out to hundreds of women injured by the vaginal mesh, transvaginal mesh and bladder mesh in Long Island. "We believe we are not reaching enoungh woman in Long Island" says the vaginal mesh helpline social worker. These women need help locating a doctor and a lawyer. The Vaginal Mesh helpline Long Island outreach program  has one important goal. " We must reach every woman who has a vaginal mesh to make sure they do not miss the statutes.

Tyco Covidian (which manufacturers the Tyco Covidian Duo and Mentor ObTape)

You have been probably reading alot lately about the mesh and the fact that it is a Multi District litigation. In fact that is what this lawsuit is. The vaginal mesh is not a class action lawsuit. Your case is filed locally and then moved to the appropriate MDl  that the manufacturer of your vaginal mesh has been assigned to.

What is a MUlti District litigation ?

Multidistrict litigation is a procedure utilized in the federal court system to transfer to one federal judge all pending civil cases of a similar type filed throughout the United States. The decision whether cases should be transferred is made by a panel of seven federal judges appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation meets periodically to review requests that cases be consolidated for pretrial matters pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407

Vaginal mesh MDL'S

In December 2008, all Mentor ObTape lawsuits pending in federal courts were consolidated for MDL in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, before the Honorable Judge Clay D. Land. In October 2010, 36 lawsuits against Bard (manufacturer of one brand of vaginal mesh) were consolidated for MDL in the Southern District of West Virginia; the number of included cases has since grown to nearly 300. The first vaginal mesh bellwether trial against Bard is scheduled to begin on February 15, 2013. Later, in February 2012, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation created three additional MDLs in the Southern District of West Virginia; the defendants are: American Medical Systems; Boston Scientific; and Ethicon. Also in October 2010, Judge Carol E. Higbee of the Superior Court of New Jersey ruled in favor of centralized management for all current and future complaints against manufacturers Johnson &Johnson and Bard (more than 400 such cases have currently been filed). The New Jersey cases are not part of a federal MDL, but are being managed on a state level.

A motion has been filed to create a sixth transvaginal mesh MDL, involving lawsuits over Coloplast pelvic mesh, and a panel of federal judges will meet later this month to consider whether the cases should be consolidated for pretrial proceedings and centralized before the same judge in West Virginia who is presiding over cases involving similar products sold by other manufacturers.

To Summarize the vaginal mesh MDL

There are currently four different MDLs (multidistrict litigations) centralized before Chief District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, involving lawsuits over transvaginal mesh products sold by C.R. Bard, American Medical Systems (AMS), Boston Scientific and Ethicon.

A fifth MDL, which was established in 2004 for lawsuits involving Mentor ObTape, is centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. However, many of the Mentor ObTape lawsuits have already settled and the litigation is at a very advanced stage.

Update on Vaginal Mesh Proceedings

Judge Issues Order to Proceed with Discovery in Vaginal Mesh MDL
Emma Gonzalez | July 6th, 2012 |

On June 14, 2012, Chief District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin, who presides over the U.S. District Court for the Western District of West Virginia, issued a pretrial order to proceed with discovery processes in the transvaginal mesh lawsuit MDL. In laymen’s terms, this means that lawyers for the plaintiffs, who allege a variety of vaginal mesh problems, are now able to request evidence, documentation and other paperwork from product manufactures and defendant companies.
Discovery to seek evidence of vaginal mesh problems

True to name, discovery is a legal term for the pretrial process of “discovering” evidence from the opposing party. In this case, Judge Goodwin has authorized vaginal mesh attorneys to seek depositions, interrogatories (fact-gathering questionnaires), and other supporting documentation from vaginal mesh manufacturers and other named defendants. Judge Goodwin’s order is a very important step for the MDL, as it allows counsel to prepare for the first trials.
Judge presides over four transvaginal mesh lawsuit MDL’s

Judge Goodwin will preside over several transvaginal mesh lawsuit MDL’s – those against American Medical Systems, Boston Scientific, C.R. Bard, and Ethicon. While Judge Goodwin has been assigned to the C.R. Bard MDL since 2010, it was not until 2012 that the other three were consolidated and appended to his court docket. The four MDL’s consolidate cases from thousands of women, and currently number 333 against AMS, 182 against Boston Scientific, 411 against C.R. Bard, and 253 against Ethicon. MDL numbers are growing fast, and this rapid rate is not expected to decrease in the near future.
Vaginal mesh attorneys cite range of complications

MDL plaintiffs allege several vaginal mesh problems, among them pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence aggravated by vaginal mesh. Additionally, women report chronic infection, bleeding, vaginal scarring, severe discomfort, and pain during intercourse. For some, what was meant to be a solution to their problems results in device erosion – deterioration of the implant – or extrusion, in other words, dislocation of the implant to such a point that it protrudes into the vaginal canal. In the worst of cases, women allege that their defective implants cannot be completely removed, even after multiple surgeries.

It is important to understand that a local lawyer is not necessary for the Vaginal mesh lawsuits. That lawyer will not necessarily be a part of the proceedings but, will most likely be seniding your case to another law firm that is equipped to handle mass torts.

Lead Counsels and the vaginal mesh MDL

On April 13th, Chief Judge Joseph R. Goodwin held a hearing to consider what MDL attorneys will be appointed to serve as lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the consolidated transvaginal mesh litigation.  Attiorneys from around the country comprise the Executive Committee and fifty firms comprise the PSC.

That is why it is extremely important for you to hire an end of the line lawyer so that your casr is not moved from a local law firm to a larger law firm to the MDL lead counsel. Many lead counsels are just end of the libne lawyers and are not taking cases, others are. Your attorney must be familiar with the MDL process. for the Vaginal mesh Helpline dial 1 877 522-2123

J&J Sold Vaginal Mesh Implant After Sales Halt Ordered
By David Voreacos and Alex Nussbaum on June 26, 2012

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) (JNJ), the biggest health-care products maker, continued to sell a vaginal mesh implant for nine months after U.S. regulators told the company to stop marketing the device, according to court records.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration told J&J in a letter on Aug. 24, 2007, to halt Gynecare Prolift sales until the agency decided whether the device was “substantially equivalent” to other products on the market. The FDA cited the “potential high risk for organ perforation” when surgeons insert the mesh vaginally to support weakened pelvic tissue.
“You may not market this device until you have provided adequate information” on 16 potential deficiencies and received FDA approval, the agency told New Brunswick, New Jersey-based J&J in the letter. “If you market the device without conforming to these requirements, you will be in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.”
The FDA cleared the device in May 2008 without ordering sanctions, after nine months of negotiations with J&J’s Ethicon unit. The company faces more than 1,400 lawsuits by women who say the mesh caused organ perforation, pain, scarring and nerve damage. Lawyers for the women say the device’s approval history could increase J&J’s cost to resolve the litigation.
“If a company knows the FDA tells them, ‘Don’t sell a device,’ they’re supposed to not sell it,” Adam Slater, an attorney suing on behalf of 150 women, said in a phone interview. “It’s egregious that J&J was selling the device without clearance.”
Letter Unsealed
The 2007 letter was part of a group of documents filed under seal in state court in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and made public in May at the request of Slater, a partner at Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman LLC in Roseland, New Jersey. Lawsuits also are pending in federal court in Charleston, West Virginia.
J&J began selling (JNJ) the Prolift in 2005 without filing a new application after determining on its own that it was substantially similar to the Gynemesh, a company device already approved by the FDA, said Matthew Johnson, a J&J spokesman, in an e-mail. The device maker relied on FDA guidance for when companies must submit new applications, Johnson said.
The FDA disagreed with J&J’s interpretation and required a new application that prompted questions in the August 2007 letter, Morgan Liscinsky, an agency spokeswoman, said in an e-mail.
J&J faced no sanctions because the FDA determined that the company applied the guidance in good faith and it “promptly complied” when the agency required a new application, Liscinsky said.
Fines, Injunctions
Sanctions for selling products without approval may include fines, injunctions against a company or senior managers and the seizure of illegally marketed devices, Liscinsky said.
The August 2007 letter was “only one part of an extended dialogue with FDA in 2007-08, and it is out of context,” Johnson said in the e-mail. “Throughout this process, our actions were responsible, appropriate and consistent with FDA regulations.”
Henry G. Garrard III, a lawyer who represents women suing in federal court in Charleston, said the FDA’s failure to take additional steps to halt Prolift sales or to sanction J&J raises questions about the agency’s power to protect patients.
“Companies know the FDA has little enforcement ability and scarce resources,” Garrard, of Blasingame, Burch, Garrard & Ashley PC in Athens, Georgia, said in a phone interview.
“Every woman in America who has been implanted with these devices absolutely should be outraged,” he said. “They should be mad at the company because the company knew they could get away with it.”
Ordered Study
Surgeons thread mesh implants through vaginal incisions and use the devices to treat incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which weakened muscles fail to support organs. Almost 300,000 were used in U.S. women in 2010, the FDA estimated last year.
An FDA database of reported malfunctions, deaths and serious injuries shows the agency received 123 complaints about the Prolift from 2005 to May 15, 2008, when the device won clearance. The company said in a September 2007 letter to regulators that reported problems accounted for less than 0.5 percent of sales for both Gynemesh and Prolift.
An agency report in July found a fivefold jump in deaths, injuries or malfunctions tied to prolapse mesh inserted vaginally. In January, the FDA ordered J&J, Murray Hill, New Jersey-based C.R. Bard Inc. (BCR) (BCR) and other manufacturers to study organ damage and complications related to the products.

J & J has just removed the Gynacare of the market for four of the devices and changed the labeling for a fifth. They claim this not to be a recall and for financial reasons only. The vaginal mesh helpline can only say "how very interesting indeed".
