Has anyone had a rectocele resolve itself post-op?
My midwife says that the rectocele I have had mildly for the past three years and more severely since the vaginal birth of my daughter in 01/00 will resolve itself when I get down to ~175 lbs. (currently 283, BMI 50.2). Has anyone had a rectocele "fix" itself, or should I ask my surgeon to fix this too while he's in there doing the RNY I hope to have? One of the websites I've seen on this talks about not having it fixed until you're done having kids, and also says that they do not self-resolve. Sigh. Any info welcome. http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/9339/24444.html is a good site with info on this problem.
