Prolapse bowel surgery: What was your recovery like?

How are you doing with your recovery for rectal prolapse surgery? I am going to have surgery sometime in January and I’m very concerned about not only the surgery but the recovery. My prolapse is now causing occasional fecal incontinence so it’s definitely time to take care of it.
I’m 70 years old and my doctor is recommending laparoscopic biologic graft ventral rectopexy with possible posterior dissection.
Is this the type of surgery you had? Thank you

It is what I had for Rectal prolapse. I was one solid week in hosp. The bowel worked on the 7th day and I went home. It remains perfect daily with daily use of probiotic after 7 years.

@baz Have you scheduled your surgery, if so that is great? I also have incontinence, I have finally found that 2 tsp. of Miralax in a cup of tea every afternoon will work the next morning. But for me, it took 4 days for this to start working. This sure has helped. My surgery was vaginal and was very easy and recovery was great. Since this has worked my bladder is working better and not so pinched. Hope you find some relief before January. KLH
