Operation for prolapse repair

For those of you having surgery, I think you are very brave. Just keep thinking about how much better you will feel once it is all over. Best of luck. Let us know how it goes.

Claudia - I had hysterectomy with bladder and rectum repair for prolapse. When I first got out of bed after the op I could not believe how much better I felt - I could move and sit comfortably without a "tennis ball" in the way. I had very little pain though it was quite a long time to get my energy back.

Also Good Luck to Auntieflo - will think of you tomorrow.

I had a Sacro Spinous fixation on 1st July. I was in hospital for two nights, the first day I had a pack and a catheter. I was dreading the catheter coming out and like you fearful of water works problems. I had none. All was fine, and I can't tell you how (12 weeks on) wonderful it is not to have a sagging undercarriage. I don't think I realised just how debilitating I was finding it. I took it easy for the first two weeks, (Wimbledon luckily) and then felt fine. I was, and am still being, careful about lifting and general overexertion. Very good luck with the op - you will feel SO much better for it.

Claudiaclaws. My sympathy to you.
Tomorrow I am going in for a prolapse repair.
It's title is Sacro Spinal Fixation, but doesn't include the rectum.
I'll let you know how I get on, when I am compos mentis again

So sorry to hear this.
I have experience of waiting for an operation which is needed and dreaded. That can be a lonely place, even with the support of family and friends.
I have no advice to offer, but am sending you every good wish. ?
I hope you will post again, when you are well on the road to recovery.

No advice, sorry, but wishing you well.
