 [ Symptoms ] is not sneezing ok it builds up like a sneeze wants to come out but then goes away  my sister one time told me in order to sneeze to tilt your head back i try that and the sneeze build up goes away i usually sneeze once or twice a day it is been almost a week since i have not sneezed after the sneeze build up goes away my nose does drip but just long enough for me to blow my nose  i have not come down with a cold for almost a year now which is not normal for me is it normal to not sneeze for a period of time [ Disease ] well your best bet honestly is to contact your surgeon is office and ask them directly they can look the information up in your chart but i can tell you that bladder sling is a term normally used regarding bladder suspension surgery in women with prolapsed bladders a bladder sling restores the urinary bladder to its correct position within the pelvic cavity men with urinary incontinence after prostatectomy may also have bladder sling surgery  in lumbar fusion surgery the approach normally is from the back did you lie face down for your surgery  the abdominal cavity is never entered so the positioning of your bladder is of no consequence you likely did have a foley catheter inserted to drain your bladder for your comfort during surgery but this probably was removed before you even woke up from surgery i hope this helps
