Re: [QUAD-L] suprapubic and sling

Increasing the size of the cath might be the answer.  Of course, there  
could be a half dozen other tangible reasons too.  You and your doctor have  
access to your medical records, we don't.  Offering suggestions without  this 
valuable information is too risky at best.
It can be even more critical when you don't trust your medical  doctor.

Hey all,

I've been away for a while but need some advice.   Not that I don't trust 
my doctor's advice but also would like to get the facts  from people that 
live with it day to day.

I've been having issues with  leaking around my cath and instead of 
continuing to go up sizes, I've decided  to go with the supra pubic until I 
drop 
some weight in my belly and get the  stoma redone so I can cath through my 
abdomen.  

Anyhow here is  the deal.  My bladder doesn't hold urine at all and the 
doctor suggested  a sling but I am really worried it won't work and then I'm 
back in surgery to  get my urethra tied off.  What if any advice do you all 
have that have a  supra pubic and how did you handle what to do about your 
urethra so it  wouldn't leak urine?

Thanks in advance,
Stacy
