scheduling sacrocolpopexy and cystocele repair...more than a little scared

Dear Lisa, from my understanding you had surgery without mesh, and now you have symptoms of prolapse again.
I had total hysterectomy due to endometrial cancer, stage 1. That was 3 months ago. After the hysterectomy my bladder prolapsed. I feel heavy down there. Feels like something is falling out. I don’t have any problems with urinating and leaking. Just the bladder. So me being 50 and still very active, live exercising I have decided to do surgery in US because I believe you have the best Urogynecologiest in the world.
Just don’t know who to choose. Looks like Texas has few good surgeons. Also Mayo Rochester - has some good doctors.
I will probably come to do the surgery in end of August/ September.
How long you prolapse surgery without mesh last it? Regards

@veronicat - knowing how challenging my symptoms got very near to when I decided to have prolapse repair surgery, just wanted to check in with you on how things are going with your symptoms. Are you still feeling the heaviness? Does anything make it feel better?

@veronicat Urogynecology is such a new specialty that it can be difficult to find a good one. I live in NH and there is only one up here, and she was booked about 6 months out. She is supposed to be good though. I didn't want to have that long so I went to Mass General in Boston. They have a department with 4 urogynecologists. I know there are other good ones in Boston also, my daughter's sister-in-law is one.
Good luck with this. I have not had prolapse, just severe retention problems which I plan to get a botox injection for.
