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.

not sure
I don't know much about the TVT or why you are having trouble. I'm going to guess that the angle of your bladder and urethra are now different, and the muscles that you used to use are possibly altered due to stitching, scarring and the like.
while the female form is pretty much the same from woman to woman, the specific form that prolapse takes varies and is probably related to the way a woman stands, uses her body and genetic predisposition. all the moreso when a surgeon goes in and changes things, I'd imagine at that point women are as alike as snowflakes.
try urinating in different positions. while most of the women here have not had surgery, there have been many ideas on how to best empty a prolapsed bladder. you can try urinating on all fours, or squatting over the toilet (facing the tank). whatever you do, try your best not to strain, you don't want to cause any further prolapse (same goes for bowel movements).
I'm sorry you're having trouble now, I do hope things get better for you.

TVT Sparc Procedure
It is a minor surgery that places a mesh type sling under your urethea to help with SUI. I had a hyst. three years ago to tuck everything up, bladder, rectal, etc. but stress incontinence still continues. Now today I'd gladly go back to SUI. This is awful and I'll probably end up having it removed.
