I had a rectocele repair along with a hysterectomy and repairs (for prolapsed bladder) back in 2012. Seems it "all" fell down after having two babies. I was unaware I had a rectocele and learned when I went in for issues with the prolapsed bladder.

My recovery from the rectocele repair was therefore all mixed together with the hysterectomy and repairs. The one thing I know for sure related to that surgery was that I was terrified to try defecating after it. But I did get through it, at last.

I may have a bit of a rectocele again, but not bad.

@peanutbutterhair - you mentioned you still have some problems with constipation and gut motility after your May surgery. Did you get to ask your surgeon about that? If so, what did he or she say?
