Re: TVT FOR STRESS INCONTINENCE- IS IT SAFE?
Thanks to Teresa for posting her personal story. That MUST be enough to make us all think again - I just can't imagine what she's been through.

If you're in doubt about TVT, just listen to this interview on Women's Hour - the lady who is being interviewed has contacted me on the meshies website.

Re: TVT FOR STRESS INCONTINENCE- IS IT SAFE?
No I wouldn't consider either of those now after having read the dreadful stories and speaking to Teresa. My partner has an incisional hernia following a prostatectomy and apparently they use mesh in the procedure to repair this too - I shall have to make sure he has the cut and stitch version if he...

Re: TVT FOR STRESS INCONTINENCE- IS IT SAFE?

Re: Incontinence and vaginal tape (TVT)
Hi - glad I have at least one person like me who is interested in knowing more about TVT and whether it's a good or really bad idea!!
Heard from the solicitor today so hopefully I will speak with the lady in the article soon, and will report back on under that topic.

Thank you so much for the posting from the Bladder and Bowel Foundation. I looked on the very helpful site and made a call to the nurse helpline and a lovely lady has just called me back and we have discussed my situation. One thing she mentioned was that there is now a more updated version of the T...
