Metal detectors and mesh?

[DMLAINI]

My husband had hernia surgery and had mesh put in. Does anyone else have this? I was wondering if it will set off the metal detectors at the parks.

Interesting question.

My husband had it done over 20 years ago. We’ve never even thought about it with metal detectors. He has never set one off. At Disney or airports, etc.

Are you sure his mesh is metal?

Yes, he was given a document to show when he goes through a metal detector.

Then bring the document in case it's needed. Most hernia mesh is not metal.
