My surgeon was Christian Quintero MD, FACOG who specializes in urogynecology. It's been about 5 years so looked up on web to see current information. It appears he is now practicing in Hollywood, Florida. I haven't had the need for follow up and was unaware he had moved.
All contact information is on the web. Yes your age could be an issue. I had made a mistake and had an obstetrician/gynecologist perform a hysterectomy when I was about 65. He should had stuck to delivering babies. I needed this hysterectomy because I had prolapsed making it too complicated for him. One day my vagina dropped into my vaginal opening and hung out about an inch. Turns out I had mild colon prolapse also. This doctor tried to tie up the colon and bladder while he removed the uterus and ovaries. The colon held, but the bladder didn't because the tissue it was tied to failed. All our skin an membranes thin as we age. That's why I needed the mesh. The mesh is placed on the inner supportive tissue between the bladder and your skin will grow into the mesh for support. Also the tube draining the bladder was crooked, thus the sling that held it up to straighten in.
I would recommend contacting his office and setting up a phone consultation. You could have your records sent and he could make a recommendation.
