I'm going to be having surgery on August 11 (Ladies only please) email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. SheliaLee (1306)1 month ago

I just wanted to ask all of my friends here on MyLot to remember me in prayer as I will be having surgery on August 11. It is a procedure I have had before but, unfortunately, will have to have again. My bladder has fallen and I am going to have to have it tacked back up. The problem has been getting worse over the past few months to the point that I have no choice but to have surgery again. I greatly appreciate all your prayers and I'll let you know when it is over with.

Hugs to you all!

SheliaLee

Thank you so much, I hope I'll have some funny experiences to relate LOL. The last time I had this it was pretty painful, maybe it won't be this time. Thanks again!

You are in my prayers and understood...
I pray that your pain will be minimal and that your recovery is uneventful. I pray that you will find strength and hope to carry you through this difficult time. I believe that God will have a finger on you and your destiny realized. May you be blessed with peace and healing.

I know how you feel as I am having similar problems in that area. I hope that all goes well for you and of course I will think of you and hope that you are up and about again in no time at all xx


myLot reputation of 96/100. SheliaLee (1306)  1 month ago

Thanks hon, I will be so glad to get it over with. I had hoped my doctor could take care of it this week to have it done before school starts back but unfortunately he was booked up. But my husband will be taking off a couple of days with me and my daughter doesn't start back to college until the 19th so I won't have to worry about getting my son and my mother back and forth to school. Talk to you soon.:)

Good luck on your surgery. I will pray for you. I had this surgery a few years ago when I had my hysterectomy. Hope you have a speedy recovery


myLot reputation of 96/100. SheliaLee (1306)  1 month ago

Thanks so much Linda! I had this done when I had my hysterectomy also but apparently I have been lifting things more than I should and caused my bladder to drop again. I hope it won't be as painful as it was the first time. Talk to you soon!! Hugs!! Shelia

having worked in a hospital for 18 years
(medical-surgical purchasing agent), i am very familiar with this procedure.
i'm wondering if your last sling was the microvasive brand?
they had problems with that one.

anchoring is great and seems to work very well.

the result of coming "loose" is annoying and embarrassing
and makes you want to just stay at home.

i will, of course, add you to my prayers list.
please let me know how you are progressing and how you are feeling
when you feel like chatting after the procedure.

Blessings!

Hi There!! The first time I had this procedure done it was a vaginal sling done by my urologist. This time I'm letting my gyn do it and his is a little bit different but from the sound of it I think it will work better. I appreciate your prayers and I'll keep you posted.:)


myLot reputation of 91/100. MOMMASAM (502)  1 month ago

yes, please do that.
this is a fairly easy procedure.
maybe a gyne will do it more securely??????

 
6. myLot reputation of 94/100. kebpete (6874)   1 month ago

myLot reputation of 96/100. SheliaLee (1306)  1 month ago

Thank you so much hon, I really appreciate it. Hugs! Shelia

Yes, I will gladly keep you in my prayers during this time and that you have a speedy recovery as well. Prayer is powerful thing and all we have to do is ask and believe in these things as if they are so and then give praises and Glory to our Heavenly Father for these things when they come to pass.

By the way, I found a great women only site that was shared with me from someone here at mylot. There isn't a earnings program to it. But the information and friendship that are built there can be more valuable than any earnings. You can check it out at www.emwomen.com When you sign up just put that I Terri Striegel referred you and that is a way they keep track of who is referring from where and who is joining from where. I don't earn anything. The reason I mention this site, there is a group there for prayer request. And you marking this as ladies only please made me think you might like this site too.


myLot reputation of 96/100. SheliaLee (1306)  1 month ago

Thanks so much Terri, I certainly appreciate your prayers hon and I will look at that website that you mentioned. I firmly believe in prayer and that God always answers them in His time and in His way. Thanks again hon!!

I'm so sorry SheliaLee. That sounds very complicated. How long will you be 'down' for? I hope your family is able to take care of you while you recover. I think from the sound of it, they will be waiting on you hand and foot since they love you so much! I'll keep you in my prayers!


myLot reputation of 96/100. SheliaLee (1306)  1 month ago

Hi Amber! I'll probably have to be off work for a few days, depending on what my doctor says. Since I'm diabetic I hope he will keep in the hospital at least overnight. The last time I had it I couldn't drive for about six weeks. My husband is going to take off work for at least a couple of days and then Amanda will be here with me after that because she doesn't start her classes until the 18th of August. They are always wonderful to take care of me when I am sick so I know I'll be in good hands. My mother only lives a mile away from us also so she will help me if I need her to. Thanks so much for your prayers hon!!


myLot reputation of 94/100. AmbiePam (10306)  1 month ago

I wish I lived near you so I could help. And selfishly so I could get to know you and Amanda.: )


myLot reputation of 96/100. SheliaLee (1306)  1 month ago

You are so sweet!! I wish you lived closer too so I could get to know you even more!!

myLot reputation of 96/100. SheliaLee (1306)  1 month ago

Thank you so much!! I'll have to admit the last time it was rather painful so I'm really dreading it. Hopefully this time won't be so rouch. Thank you again for your response and I'll keep you updated.:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. guss2000 (1008)  1 month ago

It does sound painful, but I will pray hard that you have little pain. I hope they can control the pain with meds so that you aren't too miserable. GOod luck to you!
