Getting interstim stage 1 tomorrow. Anyone have it?

I have tried three different meditations and it's just not getting better. Im doing stage one tomorrow and if that works I'll do stage two. I'm not really sure what to expect for tomorrow. But I'm so ready for it. I've had this problem for about 10 years. Hope this fixes it. I've looked the procedure up and I'm really not sure what to expect tomorrow. Kind of unknown. Has anybody had it you can give me some advice?Thanks Robin

@Robin1869 I'm not clear why you have having meditations. Can you clarify?

@Robin1869 , I know nothing about the procedure so have zero advice but wanted to say that I send good, positive thoughts that this will do the trick and take care of it!

Sorry it was so confusing. I tried three different medication's. It's for incontinence.

@Love my grandkids I'm sure she meant medications.

@Robin1869 It would help if you would explain what your problem is.

I believe this is a treatment for overactive bladder.  It's an implant.

Are you having it done under sedation. I am full aware of this procdure I belong to an QAB group on Facebook. 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I think a friend of mine had something done several years ago and it was a success, and she was so happy to have done it.  I know she had one procedure only and it was some type of sling they put in her bladder, so this must be different
