[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay OP here. A year later, nothing has improved. I have lost 20 lbs and no impact. I go for 2-4 mile walks frequently and soak an entire bladder leak long/heavy flow pad, and sometimes even that can't contain everything. I tried 3-4 PT but I truly saw no path for improvement with cat/cow and basic things she was recommending.

I want to talk to my dr about surgery, and considering taking short term disability / FMLA to do recovery right (unlike a c section where I picked my 1 year old up within 2 days, which is maybe part of the reason why Im here?).

Has anyone had surgery and is HAPPY with the experience? I've read lots of negative things about mesh and slings. Or can someone detail their daily life wit a pessiary? Would just love insight on moving beyond PT into surgery options.

Thanks all. [/quote]

I tried PT, pessary neither work for me.

I was diagnosed with prolapse, which was related to the leaking, but I guess you can have leaking without the prolapse.

I had a hysterectomy, with additional procedure to fix the prolapse (laparoscopic colposuspension that uses mesh)... recovery was rougher than I  expected, i think i got four weeks short term disability, which i had thought it was too much, but it was barely enough. Surgery gave me normal life activities back.,  no regrets!. Two years so far, feeling great.

Oh, only thing I can't run anymore, no high-impact activities.  But my case sound much more severe than yours as the prolapse was severe, on top of the leaking.
