Was that a prolapse you had? I have a huge prolapse that I am having a very difficult time managing, and they told me the only thing they can do is cut off the protruding part, and that it can reoccur. I am nervous about having this surgery as I already lost 2/3 of my large intestine and almost died due to respiratory failure after the initial surgery. They also told me mine was reversable, but I don't know if I will have the reversal surgery, I have to wait and see, because I have Stage 4 Colon Cancer. I would be interested in any feedback on this topic also.
