1/25/2013 HAD A ROBOTIC HYSTERECTOMY DUE TO UTERUS PROLAPSE. ALL SEEMED TO GO WELL. 8 WEEKS LATER THERE IS SHARP PLASTIC STRINGS IN VAGINA AND CAN FEEL STITCHING. BOWEL EVACUATION PROBLEMS AND URINATION PROBLEMS (NUMBNESS). PLASTIC SCRATCHES. DRS INSISTED THERE WAS NO PLASTIC IN ME. FINALLY THEY LOOKED AND SAID IT MIGHT JUST TAKE ANOTHER 4-6 WEEKS TO DISSOLVE. WENT BACK AGAIN. THEY TRIED TO CUT THEM OUT - VERY PAINFULLY. COULD NOT CUT THE STRINGS CLOSE ENOUGH - IF I ATTEMPTED SEX IT WOULD SCRATCH MY PARTNER!!. DR. SAID IT WOULDN'T HURT HIM - IF IT SCRATCHES MY FINGER IT WOULD SCRATCH A PENIS. THEY KEPT TRYING TO CUT THEM OUT BUT COULD NOT. 2 DRS MADE ATTEMPTS (NEITHER WERE MY SURGEONS). FINALLY THEY MUST HAVE CALLED MY SURGEON AND WAS TOLD I HAD PERMANENT SUTURES IN MY VAGINA (AT LEAST 2 ROWS WITH STRINGS AND KNOTS). APPARENTLY NOT IN MY RECORDS - I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT THIS WAS POSSIBLE. THEY KEPT TELLING ME THERE WAS NO PLASTIC IN ME AND THAT ALL THE SUTURES WOULD DISSOLVE. NOW I HAVE THIS PLASTIC IN MY VAGINA AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. ALSO - CONCERNING BOWEL MOVEMENTS - I MUST REACH IN MY VAGINA AND PUSH DOWN TOWARD MY RECTUM IN ORDER TO GET FECAL MATTER OUT. THIS IS TERRIBLE. FURTHERMORE, WHEN I URINATE I CANNOT TELL WHEN IT STARTS OR STOPS - NO FEELING THERE, BUT SCRATCHY IN MY VAGINA. I WATCHED SEVERAL DAVINCHI ROBOT HYSTERECTOMIES ON THE INTERNET AND WHAT WAS DONE TO ME IS NOT WHAT WAS EXPLAINED OR THAT I CAN FIND. ONE P.A. TOLD ME THAT THEY CUT MY SKIN BETWEEN MY VAGINA AND RECTUM AND STITCHED IT BACK UP AND NOW I HAVE PERMANENT SUTURES, AND BOWEL PROBLEMS. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE
