Question:
tummy tucks and urinary incontinence

Does any one know if a tummy tuck will help with urinary incontinence. I had a bladder sling done about a year before my wls,It helped for a time I am now 7 1/2 monts post op wls and am having a leaking problem. Could a tt help and would a diagnosis of urinary incontinence help with approval.    — Shirley A. (posted on September 17, 2004)

I'm not sure if it would help. However, I recently had a tummy tuck combined with a urinary incontinence procedure called a TVT. It worked like a charm. I am pad free after 20 years of urinary incontinence. CArla
