Recovery longer but in long run supposed to be better especially if active from my dr stand point. Ellen307

You must have a drain speaking from my RN, now retired, viewpoint. I want to stay in touch with you. I see a urogynecologist annually who is not the one who did any of my surgeries so I'd be very interested in how you do. Each of my surgeries failed in a year, the last one failed in 3 months. Such a bummer.

I feel really hopeful for you. At the time of my last surgery by my egocentric doc, I had thought that the abdominal approach would be better so I bet you will do well. Where do you live?

Hello, I am scheduled to have prolapse repair surgery with a hysterectomy and I am super nervous to the point of canceling the procedure. Can anyone help put my mind at ease about this situation?

I had a hysterectomy 25 years ago due to a prolapsed uterus. I’m not sure when it happened but I started feeling some thing else falling down in there. I used to do a lot of Zumba and heavy duty exercises which probably made it worse. Finally in June 2020 I had a laparoscopic bladder lift (The name for it is too difficult to spell.) at that time they also had to go up vaginally. So it was a lot more than they expected it to be. I still have at times a little bit of area that drops which I can go in and get another surgery but at this time it’s not bothering me that much. Then earlier this year in February I started having problems from diverticulitis and I am four weeks postop from having my sigmoid removed. I don’t regret my bladder lift even if I have a little bit drops down here and there it’s not my bladder it is just extra skin according to the surgeon. I had made up my mind after years of feeling that area dropping between my legs I was ready so it was totally my choice.
I hope your surgery goes well. Take your time to prepare for everything you need to have so you won’t have to go out anywhere. And take your time to heal because you definitely don’t want to have to do it again.

I am new to this group and am wondering if you did have your surgery. If so, how did it go? and how are you?

Looking forward to hearing from you -

I am having surgery for prolapsed bladder on August 25. Each day closer I get a bit more apprehensive. I will post again after surgery. I am having the colpocleisis procedure.

I am also considering colpocleisis surgery. I had prolapsed uterus 30+ years ago with a rectocele. Bladder was fine at that time. 2 yrs ago I had a bladder lift and another rectocele due to prop lapse. One year later bladder is prolapsing again along with rectum. Sent to a euro gynaecologist and was given 3 options. Another lift, which she said since the others have failed it would probably fail again in a year or two, mesh (which I wasn’t too excited about) or colpocleisis (considering because I am not sexually active and don’t plan to be). Please give an update on how yours went. I would like to get more info on how you are doing before I make a final decision. I was also told it is an easier recovery.
