Incontinence

With the weight and age does anyone else suffer from it? And does losing weight help with it? So embarrassing

      Yes, the surgery helps ...as a matter of fact I had issues with it prior to surgery and now I have no problems at all! I would wet myself sometimes and it wouldnt be because I sneezed or laughed...it

      now this would be a perk i wasn't even expecting. I have been wearing "protection" for so long, I don't think I would know how to get dressed without adding a pad to my underwear. Cough, sneeze, la

      I'm 53 and have to cross my legs when I sneeze or cough. I think incontinence comes with age too not only the weight thing. I also have a hard time "olding it" when I am laughing really hard too - L

    OMGoodness! This is totally embarassing, but I've had 2 c-sections with 10lb babies, 2 back surgery's one going through the front again and I have horrible incontenence! I laugh, cough, sneeze, breathe,lol. I was laughing hard one day and of course crossing my legs and my husband was laughing and he said, Your just like a little doll, you could be Polly Pee Pee!

    I know my blatter is screwed but I do hope that it will help a little after surgery.

    I'm just starting, waiting on my Dr.s to get my records sent.

    I just hate it, I wear poise pads have for 10 years, of course its worse when I have a cold/cough. I do hope its only bad because of the weight and when I have my surgery and begin to lose weight it wont be so bad. but now I have to wear a pad 24/7. I have gotten to the point of calling it a diaper. I try to hold it till i can get to the bathroom. but it starts before I get there and pisses me off, yes I do kegel exercises and thats bull shit. after I do lose the 100 lbs, and I still have this problem. then I will decide to get my bladder tacted up.

    Yeah, me too! I have to have a pad on also. We live in MD and go to NC Outer Banks area alot and I went to the bathroom at a stop got back on the road and had to go again immediately. It was insane. By the time we got to the next stop I was about to go on the side of the road! It sucks!

    So glad I am not alone!! I remember my mom buying Poise,and thinking "gross!" Well, I was in the drug store the other day and had an out of body experience!!! Lol! I found myself heading straight for the aisle that have them and purchasing some for myself! NOOOOO! I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ME!! AND THOSE SUCKAS NOT CHEAP EITHER!!!!! I'm praying this changes after surgery as well cuz it's costly!!

    You are definately not alone! I use to just use pads but the Poise are just better. My kids like to tease me and call me Grandma too. I've had so many surgeries and they've been there to help me always but you just gotta laugh about it

    sometimes. It's ridiculous! lol
