Alice’s Story

It didn’t bother me as much during the day but, when I came home from work I wasn’t able to rest. I always had the urge to go. I never experienced any leaking. It was just a terrible urge to go to the bathroom all the time. I was up as many as 6-7 times a night. I had tried different medications. Nothing worked for me, said Alice. I had my InterStim® procedure done outpatient. It was no big deal having it done.

Since I’ve had it done, life has been great. I don’t have any pain. I can rest now. It feels like living again.

Patricia’s Story

I was stuck at home. We live on a farm at The Lake of the Ozarks. I couldn’t walk out to the barn where we have cows, chickens and goats, which was just a few hundred yards away. I would have to turn around and walk back because I had to go to the bathroom, said Patricia. I had a previous surgery with a sling by another doctor. It stopped the stress incontinence but created urge incontinence. I had never had that feeling before. I wasn’t able to go anywhere because I was embarrassed of leaking, which is why I sought treatment. I wanted my life back.

I was really prepared for my procedure because I had done research online. I don’t mind talking about it at all because I want to help other people and get the word out.

Linda’s Story

I am a teacher and I could not focus on teaching and would lose control without warning in the classroom all the time. I couldn’t travel or plan to do a presentation. I lost a ton of weight and everyone thought [I] was terminally ill. My quality of life was zero. I had a faulty gallbladder surgery and had a bile leak for 9 days. [I] needed to have a colon re-section. I was having anywhere from 14-16 bowel movements per day, said Linda. Linda had an InterStim® Therapy procedure to treat her bowel incontinence. My symptoms went away immediately and [my life] was back to normal. InterStim has been a miracle I now have the opportunity to live life to the fullest.
