It’s four weeks since my repair and I was wondering did anyone else feel like it had failed as the heavy feeling was back and they could see something at the entrance? If so was it just swelling or did your prolapse return? Staying off my feet now with ibuprofen but stressing this has all been for nothing.  How much walking did you do at this stage? Feeling very frustrated! Thanks.

    I’m so glad to read this thread.  I’m 3 weeks post op and have the same heavy feeling and can see something bulging.  Fingers crossed it’s just swelling.  Slightly worried  because I first felt it mid walk. Worried that I walked too far.  The best thing I’ve found to keep bowels moving is eating a kiwi everyday with the skin on.  Feels more healthy than taking stuff and actually works. It’s amazing. I don’t particularly like them so I eat them when they’re still quite hard and not as strong tasting.  Definitely give them a go.
