Hi, @mjforch, and welcome to Connect. I had bladder (and rectal) prolapse repair surgery personally almost 7 years ago. I had my surgery at Mayo Clinic. It was performed the end of January and it wasn't till May that I didn't need to take a nap every day. The recovery was rather long and challenging. My bladder is starting to dip down again, but not to the point where it was when I had the surgery. I have also had a pessary, and I found it tolerable, but not optimal.

I'd also like to invite @pizon @letsgo @skd43usa @galah11@friendlyhelp @goldentretriever65 @smartchick43 into this conversation to comment on bladder prolapse and use of a pessary or when or if one might have surgery. @contentandwell may also have some thoughts on this.

@mjforch - my understanding is that you are using the pessary in the meantime, and considering whether to stay with it or have the surgical repair for your bladder prolapse? Is that correct? Are you currently leaning toward having the surgery or away from it?

I am 57 and 2 yrs ago I prolapsed all at once to stage 2-3 after the surgery was done to correct it over a yr and half ago it left me with nerve damage....if you can live with it please do
