    Hi Mary

    im in Australia not sure about Canada and I have private insurance so getting the op wasnt a problem. mine was a grade 2. I also know a lady with similar to me without insurance and she was approved for surgery just didn't get choice of doctor and had 2 wait much longer than I did. as I say I have no idea wot its like in Canada. good luck u will be fine

      mainly just the bulge in vag . also heavy feeling when I was on my feet too long. I had a tv h also as my uterus had come down also .

      my back wall wasnt too back but I know niw why I felt a pressure in vag when needed a poo. wished he had done all 3 but my proff Urogynacologist wont do all 3 at once risking making vag too small. I'm still young to him lol age 51 and wants women to enjoy I intercourse as long as possible without pain

    saw the gynecologist today she said i have grade 2 prolapse of bladder and rectum, she doesnt deal with prolapses so referring me to a urogynecologist the wait list is 6 months!

      at least you can plan now Mary and move forward. Urogynacologist will give you the best treatment. 6 months will fly by I'm sure hun.
