Bladder suspension surgery

I am two and a half weeks post surgery of a bladder suspension procedure. The cause of the bladder leakage was never determined and non-invasive procedures were ineffective. In the last two days I have noticed a return of the leakage. A couple of days prior to the leakage I noticed a great deal of pressure in the lower pelvic area which made it uncomfortable to stand straight up. I was told by my doctors nurse that the leakage would even out and it was not unusual to have a re-occurence of leakage after a couple weeks of surgery. I don't know. Could the surgery not have taken? I hate to think I've gone through this procedure and it didn't correct the problem. Also I was not provided with detailed information on the recovery period of a bladder suspension. I have what feels like a five pound weight in the bottom of my pelvic and standing straight up is uncomfortable. I was being treated for a bladder infection and was re-tested last week. I am waiting on the results.
Please provide some insights.
Thank you
