I wish I had found this website before my surgery. I am 41 and I did the "traditional" Kegels with no success. When my gyno sugested the surgery where they put in a "sling" to hold up your bladder, I jumped at the chance of getting back to a life without pads. Instead of getting the sling, I got a puncture into my bladder wall (still had to pay by the way). Now my incontinence is worse than ever and I am terrified to go back under the "knife." I am a first grade teacher, am on my feet all day long, have few bathroom breaks and go through several pads a day. It has affected my work, my relationship with my daughter, and my sex life. My husband is wonderful, compasionate and accepting of my condition. But he doesn't understand why I don't like to laugh anymore. I have taken a leap of faith that this treatement will work for me, post-operative. I'd like to know if others have been helped after a failed surgery.
