Very embarrassed but question about Urinary incontinence

[gomekast 559]

So, I've lost 58 pounds and this is no longer an issue for me either.

I still try like the dickens to make sure tho so every sneeze I super clench up and cross the legs quick. It's habit for me now.

But I've not had an issue since losing I'd say about the first 35-40.

Good luck!

In the end, a few years ago I had a surgery done to shore things up so to speak.

Do you mind if I ask what type of urogynaecology surgery you had?

Thank you

I am a newbie, and am very embarrassed about this, but occasionally, when I sneeze real hard or after the 4th or 5th sneeze in a row, or laugh a real hard gut laugh, i may (not always) experience urinary incontinence (TMI, I know:( can anyone tell me, if after weight loss, does this get better? or not effect it at all?

LeighAnne, I went to some urinary specialist last year recommended by my gynecologist, because I wanted bladder surgery to stop the awful incontinence I experienced for a few years. This so called specialist did about $6,000 worth of worthless -- I have no idea what to even call it. Tubes, probes, lol, junk. Once I lost 50 lbs, I have no problem any more, and I am so serious. No more pads, no more thoughts of surgery. I am normal again. I can cough again. I do not have to plan going to the restroom every THIRTY minutes. I do not have to plan groceries and shopping around restroom visits LOL. Hope this helps. Linda

Thank you, I just had surgery last Tuesday, so I am hoping once some weight comes off, I will experience the same thing.
