@bcstew. Might I ask where you had your surgery. Was it a private clinic or one of the larger hospitals? Do you know what caused your prolapse?

I had my emergency surgery at New York University Hospsital in New York City. From what I read, a prolapse happens very often and then a hernia. Even if you have reverse surgery, you can still end up with a stoma and prolapse. A reverse surgery is a very lengthy procedure and at my age I do not think I could survive.The skin is very thin at that point.
