Prolapse bowel surgery: What was your recovery like?

@tabithatwitch I was just wondering how your recovery from the rectal prolapse repair is going. I had mine on 4/13 but ended up 5/19 having a robotic ventral mesh rectopexy to fix the rectal prolapse that started staying out most of the time. It is much better but now trying to gain my strength back to what it was a year ago. This seems to be a real challenge. Take care. KLH

Gaining strength after surgery or anything major takes more time than expected. Keep working on getting stronger.

My recovery is going well. I still struggle with constipation and trying to balance it from the occasional diarrhea when I use a laxative or some thing to help.
My surgery was in the end of February and I still get random pains but overall I feel pretty good. I had my surgery and Stanford without mesh.
Where did you have yours?
