I was not told anything, I joined prolapse groups on Facebooks and learned a lot from women who had surgery. They have been angels with tips and support. I laid rather than sit, all last week was a problem sitting. Thank you

Laying is smart. I was on a donut cushion for about 8 weeks.

Is sitting getting easier? I couldn’t sit without a donut cushion for nearly two months 😳

Omg. I'm not watching anything and I should be. Scary. You are so brave.

I didn’t watch anything either. And I’d do it again, but there’s so much I wish I’d known going into it.

My lifesaver is Miralax. 2 scoops daily and it’s soft but very easy to pass. Also, leaning forward on your knees also seems to straighten the passage and allow the ship to sail smoothly into the harbor. Haha. Peace, Avie

Sooo important after surgery! Stool softener was enough for me but definitely isn’t for everyone!

@gmomma1954 5 ай бұрын

Is this 2 scoops at one time? Before you eat breakfast?

@AvieMare 5 ай бұрын

@@gmomma1954 I use two scoops at once, three if I need it. I put it in my crystal light that I drink at night or in the morning.

I've had 2 prolapse surgeries and they both failed. First one they used my own tissues to cinch up my bladder. It failed within 2 months. They then used a xenograft, failed within 8 months. So depressing.

I am so sorry. What is the next step?

@UndefiningMotherhood 6 ай бұрын

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! I have a bladder sling, but I'm told the surgery likely won't be effective forever.

How depressing, how there is another option.

Omg 🎉🎉🎉 Thank youuuu so much for this video. I’m 12 days out from stage 4, complete reconstructive prolapse surgery, and “fire vagina” set in a few days ago 💥 plus general pain in sitting. You gave some amazing tips. Thank youuuuu !! 🫶🏻

@UndefiningMotherhood 4 ай бұрын

I’m so sorry! Are you in contact with your doctor about it? I found I had to be very forceful to make them listen to me, which I hated, but it was necessary.

@cristy1rocha 24 күн бұрын

I’m 2 weeks post op and still in a lot of pain. @taylerjensen how many weeks did it take to fully recover. I’m definitely ordering a few of the things you recommended. The sitting down is no joke. Thank you for all your recommendations.

@@cristy1rocha it took me more than 6 weeks to feel remotely better. My doctor refused to listen and I ended up with a revision surgery for mesh poking through the site. It was a nightmare.

@@TaylerJensen OMG! No matter how many different things I’m trying to have a bowl movement, it’s not helping much. I called my doctor and was told to continue what I was doing if it doesn’t improve I need to visit the ER. I’m not straining hard, but just the slight push I can feel the pain on the muscle they attached the sling. I’m glad to hear you’re doing much better. I’m regretting getting this procedure done, not my hysterectomy.

When my doctor told me that she can go in through the vagina, to fix the prolapse I did not think about the the cut in the perieneum !!! OMG!

@UndefiningMotherhood 6 ай бұрын

It couldn't sit without a donut cushion for like 6-8 weeks. NOTHING like tearing after birth. That said, my surgery ended up being much more involved than expected, so I'm not sure what's "normal."

Thank you. I will consult further with my Doctor. @@UndefiningMotherhood
