> We increased the size but can't only do that so many times. I just would like to be informed with info from people that live with it day to day than just from a doctor. I trust him but would like to know if anyone with a sling and a flaccid bladder have any troubles with leaking or whatever may be a problem. I feel it's important to be informed.

> 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?
