I have never had to unfix a repair, so I am not sure of the answer to your specific question. I am sure two weeks is way too soon, though. Talk to your MD. I am sure he has some tricks up his sleeve to stretch the repair and make it work better before abandoning it and trying another surgical repair. Hope this helps.
