@jenben59 I had surgery (Copolcleisis for vaginal vault prolapse & bladder sling) in late November, 2025. For me, the one thing that was a source of pain and irritation was the "posterior stitch". I thought I was never going to heal, but on the day before the six weeks mark I could tell it was gone or healing. That was my Hallelujah moment. I never had to take anything stronger than Ibuprofen. I was also tired for a number of weeks too (I am 75). I am now going to physical therapy and I think it's helping especially for bladder and bowel. I told the physical therapist that I never realized that at age 75 I would need to go to school to learn how to poop!!! Haha!
