Prolapse bladder, bowel and urinary Incontinence surgery

Hi I am going to have surgery on 7/30/2012 for Pelvic Prolapse (bladder, bowel and urinary Incontinence). I have had a full hysterectomy. I have watched the video's and feel very scared about the urinary incontinence surgery. I would really appreciate some feedback from those who have had any of these surgeries or know someone close that has and what to expect for recovery. Is it extremely painful to urinate etc. After all healing is life and "sex" back to normal? thanks!

I just sent you a friend request and will be happy to e-mail back and forth if you have any specific questions. Besides having had those surgeries I am also a Registered Nurse.
