Has Anyone Here Undergone Prolapse Surgery?

I have a prolapsed stoma (ileostomy); my doctors/nurses say it's fairly mild. My stoma works normally; it's just very long from top to bottom, and I hate the way it looks. My doctor says he'll do the surgery if I really want it done. My wife thinks it's a waste, and she feels I should wait until my doctor's recommendation is that it's time to do it. I'm curious as to whether anyone here has had the surgery and, if so, how were the results...

I have had one, but be aware unless you get it relocated it will increase somewhat in diameter, as every trace of scar on the skin surface has to be removed as your appliance won't stick to a scar and will leak. If you feel you must get it done, do it; others don't have to live with it and a surgeon won't do it voluntarily.

It happens. I believe there are belts that could control your symptoms. That might avoid surgery. There is no guarantee that it might not happen again depending on how it is surgically repaired.
