Hi, @shirls1948 - just wanted to clarify what you meant when you talked about 3-way vaginal prolapse? Did you have prolapse in your rectum, bladder, urethra, small bowel, uterus or vagina? I had surgery over 7 years back to correct bladder and rectal prolapse.

How was your surgical recovery?

My prolapse was rectal, bladder and uterus; vagina okay. Yet as mentioned I went to an ob/gyn doctor for the hysterectomy who also said he repaired the bladder and rectum during surgery (rectum he said was minor). The bladder tie up was a total failure, but as mentioned I know now my tissues were not strong enough to support the tie up and this doctor didn't realize it. A mesh was never mentioned. The bladder repair with mesh and sling was a cakewalk compared to my hysterectomy. I was naive not realizing what was in store with a hysterectomy. I lived on Oxycontin for a good 5 weeks, doped up and watched TV. I never thought of myself as a sissy before. Even my insurance called and talked me into trying another pain med, which I did and it provide barely noticeable relief and went back on the oxy. Believe me I still had to deal with pain even on oxy. Now realize I am lucky because when the day came to give up oxy I never missed it or wanted it again. It will be a shame for others if oxy is banned. I still wonder about my hysterectomy gyn, as he left the practice a month after my surgery. As mentioned ladies- do your homework. I do for all my doctors now.
