Pelvic reconstruction surgery

 I have heard of ladies getting fixed up liek this and running afterwards ....i suspect he means you shouldnt run fora few months after surgery not forever .....

ask him to secure things so U can take the pressure of running .. tell him Ure very active and prone to obesity and MUST exercise daily and enjoy running ......

good luck Diana ! Swinging those  darn lizards like crazy ....

Thanks Ava...  I appreciate your support and swinging!! :) 

Ok ladies, I had this done years ago with my hysterectomy and it was the most painful thing I have ever gone through.  For weeks, I felt like I had a dry corncob in my vagina.  It was months before intercourse wasn't painful. I sat in sitz baths for hours on end for weeks.
Get a second opinion.  Think very long and hard.
Maybe the techniques have changed, I certainly hope so.

Thanks for sharing your experience Price ~ I am pretty sure it's going to be a rough road ahead and I am sorry that your journey sounded painful and very uncomfortable. I'll know more tomorrow about what procedures he'll be doing. I trust my doctor and am confident in that I need surgical intervention. He always looks at conservative remedies before he goes for surgical intervention. He said I can do kegels until the cows come home but I am passed that point. *sigh* getting older sucks...lol 

Anyways, I digress...lol....I have been thinking hard about it and am ready for the surgery; I just think he's being very dramatic in the NEVER run part. 

Diana,
I've never heard of this.  I just wanted to wish you good luck on your surgery and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Take care of yourself - I wouldn't try to do anything too fast.
{{HUGS}}  Swinging everything I can find for you!!

 Thank you Linda.  I won't do anything too fast...I know ya'll come kick my butt!! With love of course... :) 

I found the bright side of this for you.  You will have more time to hang out with us here and we will laugh at your pain medicine postings!!!

Always look for the silver lining.

Seriously, take care of yourself.

Thanks Linda  that will be fun to post while medicated!! I'll try to keep it entertaining for sure!!

The other thing positive is....I won't have to cook, clean or do anything for the next 6 weeks! Whoo hoo...the hubby comes home and can take care of his queen...lol
doctors orders right?? 

I've been in the same boat. I had rectocele surgery and it came right back. Mine is also from a difficult delivery, high forceps and also facing the wrong way. I haven't been the same since. The worse symptom is difficulty using the bathroom. I saw a surgeon a few years ago and since at that time I was having a lot of diarrhea I was told I didn't need more surgery. Now the diarrhea is gone and I have to worry about constipation again. I am using stool softeners and milk of magnesia to try to help. I wish you well.

  Thank you...Those darned kids huh?
