COLLEEN, I HAVE NOT EVER HAD SURGERY FOR MY PROLAPSED BLADDER SO I CAN'T CONTRIBUTE TO THAT DISCUSSION. BUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS I'VE USED A PESSARY WHICH I , MYSELF, MANAGE MANUALLY, TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THE PROLAPSE. MY LAST POST ON THIS SITE WAS TO REPORT HUGE HUGE HUGE IMPROVEMENT WITH THE PROLAPSE AFTER HAVING LOST WEIGHT. FROM ABOUT 215 AT FIVE FEET 6 INCHES TALL TO ABOUT 175 LBS NOW AT 77 YEARS OLD. . I WAS NEVER TOLD LOSING WEIGHT WOULD IMPROVE IT. BUT I CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN GLAD TO FIND IT OUT.
