I had a hysterectomy along with a monarch bladder sling about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I am having trouble leaking something every time I bend over or tie my shoes or pull up my pants etc... Is this normal or is something wrong? Thanks for any info

This can happen sometimes. Usually it resolves by 6 weeks after surgery. If it still persists after 6 weeks, it needs to be evaluated thoroughly by your surgeon. The possibilities include a sling not toght enough, or oncontinence related to overactive bladder, which can happen after sling placement.
