Hi everyone, I’m a female, 62 years and always had a weak bladder. Often leaking when laughing and coughing hard.
I’ve had a hysterectomy, prolapse surgery and two failed sling procedures. Since these procedures my incontinence has gotten worse.
The first sling should have cured the incontinence but I was leaking soon after, Botox was tried but failed as well.
The 2nd sling was to tighten the urethra and I’d be using a catheter from then on. This worked for about 3 days, then I was able to urinate by myself and control it for about another 3 days, I was almost normal. After that, the leaking came back.
These two procedures were done at Stanford Hospital in California.
I went looking for a 2nd opinion at UCSF in San Francisco. My doctor recommended an adjustable sling called TRT Remeex Adjustable Sling. It’s new to me, the sling is put in place, you come back in two days to have it adjusted externally without going thru another operation.
Sounds too easy?? It makes sense to me since my two slings were put in place permanently for good or worse but this one can be adjusted any time after, even years after. They also have this for men.
I’ve accepted my situation with the diets and multiple pads daily but I haven’t stopped looking into way to improve my life.
My question is, has anyone heard of or had an adjustable sling? My procedure is coming up in later March.
Thanks,
