@jeanne5009 Do you recall the method they used on your two prolapse surgeries? The first time did they use mesh or did they just stitch up the ligaments? And what about the second time? How long ago was your second surgery? I ask because @luftmensh1 was asking about the different procedures for prolapse repair. I had bladder prolapse surgery in 2017 with mesh as my doctor was concerned that just stitching up the ligaments would not hold and that I might have to have the surgery again. I was afraid of the mesh but he was adamant about the new mesh being very different from the kind they used to use that caused a lot of problems and lawsuits. I have had zero issues with the mesh and wish I had done my surgery a lot sooner rather than putting up with the prolapse, pessary, bleeding, etc. for so many years. I was trying to make the point to @luftmensh1 that she should not be worried about the mesh because it is not the same as it once was. Just wondered what your experience was with regard to mesh, if any?.

With regard to your cystitis and infections, do you know what that is due to? You mention trying to get a liver transplant. So sorry you are having these issues. Just trying to connect the dots between the liver issues, the cystitis you mention and your past prolapse surgery. The way I read your email is that the cystitis and infections are liver related. Is that right?
