Post TVT question

Well, I've read the horror stories regarding TVT and they've scared me. But, I've had many surgeries, researched potential problems beforehand, and been successful. So I'm hoping the same with this surgery.

Here are my issues tho:

1. I have SEVERE pain at one of the "stab sites" on my pelvic wall. Not all the time, but most. The pain is worse with movement, when I stretch out to sleep or attempt to touch the site.

2. I can feel sutures RIGHT inside my vagina. In fact, I got a mirror and can see them! Everything is so swollen and painful, maybe these will receed. But I don't have an appointment until 4 weeks post-op - I assume these are disolvable?

3. How long until these disolve? I seriously don't think I can even consider sexual activity with those protruding like that!

4. I have to stand to void. The nurse said this is normal and will take "some time for things to loosen" - WHAT? Does this sound right?

Ok, so there you have it. ANY input is appreciated!

Happy Holidays!
