@baz, @collenp I just saw your message. I will have the surgery @ Mercy Hospital, Springfield, Missouri. I worked for Mercy in Laboratory Services for 15 years before retiring over 3 years ago.
Both of my OB/GYN Drs. would never use mesh and they told me to stay from having any mesh used. My bladder was lifted up and attached. That was several years ago and it is still in place where it belongs. Now my rectal prolapse just needs to be pulled up, straightened, and attached (no mesh for support). I was told all done through the vag. Hopefully, by now my tissue wall is thick and strong enough for stitches.
I would ask if they were going to use mesh or if there was another option. I would hope you have a choice since you are the one having surgery.

Stay in touch and let me know how you are. Your date is way before mine. In the meantime take care of yourself and stay healthy. This is important before surgery. KLH
