Maybe: Having done thousands of slings, I've found that mesh slings are more "all or none" on voiding. If your stream is normal and not weaker than before, then waiting is probably reasonable. If it's very weak, then maybe more consideration should be given for revision. Understand that because of rather rapid tissue ingrowth, mesh slings cannot be "loosened" very easily after about 3 weeks.
