Dear Johannes,
Except if I misunderstand something, I think my previous answer is
suited to your problem.
For example, consider the attached files generated with the following
workflow:
test4.med mesh file-> test4.msh mesh file generated by Gmsh-> test4.geo
geometric file generated by "MeshToGeo" application-> manual
edition->test4Edited.geo geometric file-> volume mesh->test4Edited.med
volume mesh generated by Gmsh
As you can see, the boundary surface mesh of the final test4Edited.med
file is exactly identical in comparison with the initial test4.med
surface mesh file (same number and positions of nodes).
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Benjamin
