I had a bladder sling put in in 2001. It was fabulous! But it failed last year (not sure what that means exactly, how it fails). I went to pelvic floor physical therapy and that really helped. I tried a pessary, but we couldn't find one that fit well and didn't cause a lot of pain when I removed it. Plus, my leaking was worse with the pessary (it was a round one). I am now following a gal on the internet who is extremely helpful. You can do a 7 day free trial, which I did and found it to be a worthwhile program. Her website is http://www.thevagwhisperer.com. I think you can also go to http://www.thevaginawhisper.com. I believe there are some videos on youtube as well, which is where I first saw her. She teaches you to train your brain to do kegels before you do any movement: bending, stretching, lunging, sliding to the side, etc. It takes some work, but it has been revolutionary for me. The benefit to it is that you're not just doing kegels; you're doing a mini workout! So good for the whole body. She also teaches you what's going on in there and how so many other muscles are connected to your pelvic floor. I'm 68 years old and all I was told when I was 31 in childbirth class was, "Just do kegels everyday." Better late than never!
