I am going in on the 12th September for my TVT operation that is being done under a Local Anaesthetic.  Just wondering if anyone can give some advise on how they felt during and after the procedure?

​Was the Local Anaethetic enough to not feel any pain with it being such a delicate area?

​How long did it take you to recover as I would like to be back at workas soon as possible. I have a desk job so can be seated most of the day if needed.

​Finally has the op been a success for you?

​Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    My TVT repair was done under general anaesthetic, along with a prolapse repair, so I can only speak to the difference it has made. It is fantastic. I can laugh, sneeze, cough and do star jumps (if I want to). There is no need for panty liners or anything. What I did notice was the flow changed. It takes longer to pee, and I'm always careful to double void, but I haven't regretted it for a moment.
