Hysterectomy: July 11th, 2005

6 time fistula repair must have bladder taken out
I am new to the site, I was referred to it by my Urologists nurse. My hysterectomy was in July 2005, since then I have been suffering with a recurrent Vesico Vaginal Fistula. In the past 2 1/2 years I have had 3 abdominal repairs and 3 vaginal repairs, I have been cathertized for a total of 10 months during this time period. The last repair attempt failed in October 2007 and I was then told that my bladder had been damaged beyond repair and that radical measures would have to be taken. I am only 39 years old and will be having my bladder removed on December 26th, 2007. Good news is they no longer use a bag for urine collection. They will build what is called a neobladder out of my small and large intestines. I am wondering if anyone has had to have this procedure or knows anyone that has. Most of the stuff on the internet is about people 60+ that have this. I am looking to hear something from someone closer to my age that is living with this and leading a normal life, hopefully.
Hope to hear from you.
