When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Hello R u kiddin me and
Hello R u kiddin me and welcome,
You don't have to give up an active lifestyle, but you may have to make a few changes and probably take it a little easier on yourself for a little while. We recommend that our post hyst members take this work gently mostly because we really don't know what your pelvic dynamics are from the surgery you had. They are all a little different in how they are performed generally speaking.
This is not an exercise program, but something much more important and profound. Christine Kent has studied for many years and brought to the rest of us what she has found. And, that is the posture we were always meant to be in. We here call it the Whole Woman posture. This is the key to help us move our pelvic organs into the lower belly and out of the vaginal space.
Your best start would her book Saving The Whole Woman. It contains all the information to better understand what you are going through. First Aid for prolapse is an excellent dvd to get started with practical advice for day to day living, as well as some exercises that help strengthen the body into posture. Walking is another way to really work on those posture principles.
You should still be able to lift, but you will learn to do it in a safer way that protects your pelvic organs.
The gaining weight thing is ridiculous. Prolapse doesn't descriminate when it comes to that. We get all sizes, shapes, and ages of women who get it.
Read around the site and watch some videos to get a better idea about Christine's work, and please come back to us with any questions you have about the work.

Hi, just wanted to add my welcome and to second AG's suggestions about how to approach the WW work. It is important for you to try and keep the remaining organs forward in the belly; but you have more of a challenge without the uterus and round ligaments to help pull everything in the right direction. The biggest prolapse concern after hyst is the vaginal vault, which is often anchored at the top in hopes of preventing that. So that's one reason you need to be gentle. If you have been left with enough length to the vagina that it is able to flatten out and become a closed space, you will have a better chance of success in keeping the organs forward. The main thing is, there is nothing to lose and everything to gain by adopting this natural posture. Good luck to you! - Surviving
