Prolapse bowel surgery: What was your recovery like?

What type of surgery was used to fix the bladder?
I have a consult appointment soon.
Thank you

The post op sounds awful. I hope you find some relief soon. Where did you have your surgery done? I wonder if it’s the same procedure that I am getting… (A robotic ventral mesh Rectopexy with biologic graft.)
I understand there are 2 different procedures to correct rectal prolapse.

Is there anyone out there who has had surgery to correct a prolapsed bladder without using mesh?
I obtained Mayo Clinc's book on Incontinence.
The Sling procedure is the most common surgery to treat stress incontinence but physicians may use synthetic mesh material., which is a no go for me.
I just completed a 10 day regimen on Nitrofurtoin. Stopped taking Atorvastin which worsened my pancreatitis. The pancreatitis has now subsided. I am now on a vegetarian diet. Taking Vit. D3, B12 subligual, multi vitamin, began brisk walks daily on treadmill. Lost 10 pounds, but still experiencing abdominal pain over the bladder and intermitent rt flank pain over the kidney. Appointment is scheduled with a Urogynecologist in few weeks. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

I’m so sorry that you’re suffering like this. Some years ago I went through a painful time that I really didn’t know how people could live through. As we all do I learned some things. One with diarrhea to stay completely off all dairy until I was healthy again. Surprisingly it helped almost immediately. Next to stay hydrated I use a product I buy on Amazon it comes in packets you mix with 8-10 ounces of water. I buy the berry flavored it taste nice and I sip it. It has all kind of good things for us as we try to heal. It’s Jigsaw Electrolyte Health Supreme Packets. Right now if you can stay hydrated and add supplements through these packets of goodness it will be a good beginning. Also I slept every second that I felt that I could. These are a couple of the things right off the top of my head to start with. Prayers. Please stay close to the group they are kind and loving. We care.

Thank you so much for your kind response.
I appreciate your advice.
I will be fully prepared for this appointment.
Take care
Thank you again.

Has anyone had prolapsed bladder surgery without using mesh?

@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

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?

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

@baz, so glad you came back to report on your surgery. I have rectal prolapse but also have proctitis, which evidently has healed but am left with scar tissue, and am concerned about that with surgery as I don't want a stricture to form in my rectum. I also am thinking of going to Stanford to talk about surgery but am so apprehensive. Thanks for reporting back as I was looking for your post. I just joined this site. Who was your doctor, if you remember?
