Just thought I would update you all after my visit to the consultant. I am nearly 10 weeks post op after sacrospinous fixation for vault prolapse. For several weeks I have been stressing that the surgery had not worked as things didn't feel right. Well after all that worry everything is OK.!! My consultant said it was all normal and is not obviously going to feel the same as before. So I hope you ladies that are worrying like I was this gives you a bit of comfort. He said just to take things easy for a few more weeks and no lifting more than 12lbs EVER!! Don't know how easy that will be but will have to try.
Thank you for telling us your good news. Those of us with upcoming surgery are always pleased to hear positive stories.
Hope you continue to do well. X
Brilliant news!! So pleased for you. I too was worried that my op had failed but I think it does take a while to really settle down. Again, great news for you..... And no heavy lifting remember x
Delighted to hear all is well, especially as I'm due to have same operation next Thursday ( assuming not cancelled due to bed shortage!) It's so comforting to be reminded that initial worries don't mean an op has failed.
Did you have abdominal surgery as I'm having? I think it makes recovery longer. I'm crossing fingers that I'll be well enough to fly to England ( from N. Ireland ) with my husband to spend Christmas with our son and partner. Perhaps too optimistic, but thanks to you I'll not panic if I'm not recovered enough!
Agree it's going to be hard to remember weight lifting limits. Best of luck for continued progress. X
Hi Sandie56 glad to hear that all is ok with you what a relief. I have my follow up appt beginning of November, and soooooo hoping all is well. I have been told lifetime ban on lifting more than 5lbs, I am 69 and in the UK. Glad for you that a is ok

Hi, my surgery was done vaginally. My recovery was very good apart from the initial buttock pain. My consultant said no flying for about 8/10weeks after surgery. You should be ok for Christmas I would think. Hope all goes well for you and a quick recovery.
Yay!! So pleased to hear this. X
