Hi all
I am due to have a rectocele repair sometime next year. My consultant will only do it once my BMI is 35 or under so I have got to loose at least 2 stone. Apparently if it is done and you are to much overweight its less likely to be successful.
He says its guidelines across England and Scotland like BMI to be 30 or under.
Is this the case for all of you ?

I had a difficult childbirth 22 years ago and have had an anterior repair 10 years ago which is still holding up well. I had a hysterectomy 8 years ago and had a slight posterial prolapse which over the years has got gradually worse.
I really don't want to have a repair that fails so will do what I have to do

I was 2 stone lighter when I had my anterior repair and 10 years on its still holding well.
My surgeon won't budge as he says he really doesn't want to have to do a secondary repair in the future. He is an expert in repairs so will go with what he says.
All the best with your recovery x
