hi there. Am just over two weeks post op. nearly three years ago I had anterior repair which failed, and prolapse uterus worsened to grade 3. having put operation off the prolapse ended up impacting on bm, bladder and causing discharge and odour.

After much consultation the only viable option (I didn't wish to have hystorectomy) was using mesh to support uterus, and tie it with permanent suture to sacrum. Then a posterior repair was performed. I was advised and open proceedure was best for me. Surgery took around 4 hours do was extensive.

I was discharged 2 days after and now am only taking paracetamol or ibuprofen twice a day. I haven't managed a full night's sleep yet but bladder seems to be working better. Too early to tell what else.

Has anyone had similar? Interested in how the stomach scar heals (is like a caesarean) as stomach numb above scare. I am 42 and not overweigh. Thanks
