@brr, how frustrating that the bladder sling was successful in helping incontinence, but has caused another problem with not being able to completely empty. I'm tagging @baxtersmom @gardeningjunkie @hotfooted and @luftmensh1 to see if any of them have experienced a similar issue.

I can imagine that you would be nervous about cutting the sling and wondering if that might cause incontinence to return. Did the doctor think that the scar tissue is causing the sling to be too taut or tight? I would want to ask questions like "Does cutting the sling risk more scar tissue? Could incontinence return? Can you draw me a picture of how cutting in the center will help?"

What questions would you ask?

My bladder sling was a success, but it was not formed of my own fascia, it was artificial. If you knew my history you'd know I have an assortment of allergies to contact material, yet no issues with this appliance. Brr my first idea, which you may already done is to get other opinions and not to rely on one specialist. I have learned this the hard way several times. Also could you explain why you chose to go with your own fascia?
