A number of years ago, I'm 67 now, I had a hysterectomy, hernia, ooferectomy, fundoplication and bladder sling surgery done at the same time by three different surgeons. All the other surgeries went fine, but I have had worse incontinence since the bladder sling due to bladder spazyms. After thorough testing, a camera into my bladder revealed my bladder, in part, was trapped outside the sling and won't fill up with urine. I am damp all the time and sometimes lose all control and let loose the entire contents of my bladder. This happens most often when I stand from a sitting position. I wake up 4-5 times a night to urinate, so my sleep is badly disrupted. I fall asleep sitting in a chair during the day and I must take a nap in the afternoon. My urogynecologist wanted to implant a sensor to regulate my bladder, but I said no to the implant. As far as I'm concerned, an implant is just another BIG problem. Can't a surgeon fix it so my bladder is all in the sling and give me more volume. Apparently this would stop the spazyms, too.
