Lap Ventral Rectopexy

[Empowered_patient]

Am I the only women to be pleased following a laparoscopic rectopexy - it changed my life!! Why so many bad stories? I wouldn't change anything. The biggest problem I had was having to wait for the funding to be secured

Hi empowered_patient..

Was that op for a prolapsed bowel, ?

[Empowered_patient in reply to Hather]

Yes an internal prolapse. Caused me no end of symptoms -constipation, urgency, incontinence and pain. My business was suffering as was my marriage. I was desperate. Having had the surgery which was hard work - felt pregnant for weeks it is all behind me. I am so please. It's transformed my like. I guess I am very lucky. In truth I never expected it to work but I was desperate. Would have tried anything

Glad your op was good.. had mine about three years ago, but the prolapse is back and zip have to decide if I want another referral..Maybe because I was a career for my late husband, I did not take enough care of myself at the time..He was in trump cAre after my op..then I had hernia on the porthole entry and needed an op on that as well.. I have chronic constipation which restricts my life a lot, tho not too much pain more discomfort and restriction..still could be worse I know

Sorry to hear of your problems. But do not blame yourself. Perhaps I am just lucky. Fingers crossed for you

So good to hear a positive post about this. Thank you for telling us.

I guess people like me with positive outcome don't use this type of site very much. If I had seen this before my op I would have been too frightened to go ahead. It doesn't bear thinking about.
