After birthing 3 large babies I realized something...

WORTH IT$500
After birthing 3 large babies I realized something just wasn't right down there. I would be doing dishes and feel as if there was something trying to come out of my vagina. When I would have a bowel movement it felt like something was trying to fall out. Naturally I got my camera and started snapping pix to see what I could see! There was a bulge trying to come out of my vagina??? I also had bladder incontinence when I would sneeze or run, anything jarring. I started googling, "feels like my insides are coming out my vagina" and found that I had bladder and rectum prolapse. I felt loose, and orgasm was getting harder to achieve, which was never a problem for me before, but my husband & I were having some problems and I just figured they were related. I went to my gynecologist, explained to him my problems and he told me I would need an anterior posterior colporrhaphy, we quickly set a date. I asked him to make me super tight, he said 2 finger widths.
My procedure was done as an outpatient in the hospital that my dr. has privileges. I went to my sister's house for a few days to rest. I didn't have pain, mostly discomfort and tenderness. I was so afraid to poop! I guzzled MOM and all was well.
I had read so much on the procedure from other women, I was afraid there would be pain or sexual dysfunction, but thankfully I did not experience any of that.
I am super satisfied! So is my husband! :)

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing your story....may I ask since you had an actual medical issue, were you able to get most/all via insurance?

Hi onedimsim, thanks! Yes, all I paid was my deductible for the facility ($500). I thought I'd share because many women have similar issues and most don't know they are basically the same procedure...at least I didn't! lol I sent you a pm also.

@lose, not at all, really...well, it was like having an episiotomy. I don't recall feeling any pain, (tender, discomfort) on the inside...just where the stitches were on perineum. It didn't hurt before sx either, just weird and very disheartening being 40 at the time and feeling like an 80 yo!!! lol

Im getting a mommy makeover and a tighter vagina would be the icing on the cake for me. Thanks for sharing your story. Did your insurance cover this procedure?

what did you say to the insurance co to get them to cover your mm, or is it just the vaginoplasty that they covered??

Just the vaginoplasty was covered.

I’m wondering what steps you had to take to get the insurance to cover it. Did you go to an ob/gyn first and did he/she refer you to a plastic surgeon. I just trying to figure out how to go about this and at the same time get the insurance to cover it. I found out that the doctor ob/gyn that I'm scheduled to go too on Wed. does not do vaginoplasty surgery but he does other types of surgeries that include putting foreign things in that area for support. I don't want the foreign objects inside of me, I just want the vaginoplasty, so I'm going to try and get him to refer me to someone who does do them. I’m just not sure what language or medical phrases I need to use with the insurance company so that I can get a vaginoplasty covered. Thanks for any feedback…

My dr is my ob/gyn. What he performed on me was an anterior posterior colporrhaphy. He did not use any mesh or foreign material. He sutured the fascia that lies between the bladder/vagina (anterior) and rectum/vagina (posterior). He then removed the excess lining of my vagina. Check out **removed 3rd party website***. They're in Atlanta & Beverley Hills, they accept ins and do plastics also.

I assume my gyn office got permission from my ins carrier. I never had to say anything to anyone at the ins co. Also, look for a urogynecologist.

Awww, thank you so, so much Tiki, very helpful! I wrote down some key words and looked them up, then called my insurance and took some notes to my gyn apt. As it stands now, I am scheduled in about a week and a half from now for a posterior colporrhaphy. I asked the doctor to please snug it up while he's down there, lol, but he said, 'if I snug it up to much, intercourse will be painful.' I still said I would appreciate it. After reading about the surgery online, it looks as though one of the beefits is the area becomes a little snugger. I'm a little nervous, but excited at the same time. I think I'm just nervous about the recovery time and what to expect. I know what the articles say, but am interested in hearing what others who have gone through it are saying. Thank you for all you've shared, it has truly helped. Btw, sorry it took me so long to respond, I worked a 62 hr week this past week and was wiped out!! :)

Hi Today777! That's great you're already scheduled for sx! Glad the info provided was helpful. Yes, what you're having done will snug you up. I'm beginning to wonder if 2 finger widths is as tight as any surgeon will make a woman. I recently read someone was told the same....2 finger widths. My dr. kept me over night and the gyn doing rounds the next morning told me I have a vagina of a 15 year old! :) I don't remember pain, just tenderness and an internal heaviness when it was first performed. Like it was uncomfortable to laugh and of course walk too much or too fast. You're not suppose to lift over 5lbs I think for 6 weeks. Unfortunately I didn't have help at home and had to lift my 4 mo. old! Be careful what you read. I read a lot of horror stories of dysfunction, I had to stop reading. It was starting to scare me out of going through with it. No worries about taking long to respond. I'm glad you did though I was wondering about you! I wish you well on your sx. I hope you'll let me know how you're doing after it's all said and done.
