A post for successers and people wanting to hear success stories
As you all know, I am a big InterStim advocate. 
There's been a lot of discussion about failure--which needs to be out in the open--but I'd like to post about the successes as well, since this is the success board.
Here's one from the InterStim site:
http://www.medtronic.com/servlet/Con..._jeanettestory
The above link is about someone with terrible frequency/urgency--which is why I myself went in for InterStim.
The following story is about Urge Incontinence, something I also suffered with but no longer have:

This is also an urge incontinence story of a man:

Anyway these are just a few samples I've come across on the internet. There are many of us, and a lot of us don't post because our InterStims are working so well that we aren't around!
When thinking of the InterStim, it's always best to way both sides, and of course, talk with your uro open and honestly. Tell him/her your concerns, look at his/her credentials, and his/her success rates with the surgery. Unfortunately, the failures seem to happen because of incompetent uros.
Mine told me he could do his in his sleep--I told him to stay awake. lmao
Hugs and love,
Jess
