Hi all. New here. I'm having a bladder Augmentation in Jan after about 5 years of SNS and Botox. I'm aware of what's going to happen but I'd like feedback from those who have had it.
I'm having open surgery, not robotic. I'm 35, injury at 15, C4-6, independent from my power chair. Full function and movement just very weak muscles on the right side which prevents me from using a manual chair or standing for more than about 2 mins. I already self cath.
For ladies, how did it effect your sexual life? Any setbacks after healing?
How long after surgery were you able to self transfer?
Any bowel issues? I'm lucky enough not need a bowel program for the most part and I'm really nervous this is going to mess that up.
Thanks!
