Posted , 7 users are following.

I  had stress incontinence sling surgery on Oct. 18th and I was having trouble urinating. I wore an internal catheter for a week and then I have to use external catheters to empty my bladder. what can I do to get my bladder to start working properly? What have other's done after this surgery? How long did it take you to get back to normal? Feeling discouraged and disappointed.
