Pubovaginal sling

I’m strongly considering a pubovaginal fascial sling instead of a mesh sling for stress incontinence, but it seems like most people nowadays have the mesh procedure done.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had the fascial sling using their own tissue. How was your recovery, pain level, long-term results, and would you do it again? Any regrets or things you wish you had known beforehand?

I’m trying to make an informed decision and would love to hear real experiences from others who chose this route.
