I've just had another urodynamics with xray test and have been told that a colpo suspension is the best way forward for me as my bladder muscle is too weak to allow me to wee properly after having TVT. I'm quite pleased not to be having TVT as I've read some horror stories about them, but it would be good to be able to go for long walks and do my zumba classes etc without being soaked! Does anyone out there have experience of this operation? I know it's not used often these days as it's quite an expensive procedure and most women just have the TVT. It would be good to know of any successes.

It seems you need an operation. It should go well for you, although operations are not a great seller, they do help according to what i hear. All the best.
