I've had surgery for prolapse with a & p repair. Will having the sleeve surgery and losing all the weight affect this?

I haven't seen a doctor yet. I go to my first seminar next week. I hadn't even thought about weight lost affecting my repair until my husband said something. Even if it does affect it I still want the sleeve surgery done to help me lose weight. I can have that fixed again later on

Prolapse - the internal organs have lost structure. Usually bladder, uterus etc falling into vagina

A = anterior

P = posterior

So she had a prolapse with anterior and posterior repair. Basically rebuild of the pelvic structure.

So based on that. I would it didn't affect you since it's a nj teensy organ repair but definitely something to ask BOTH your surgeons to comment on.

hate it when the CRS kicks in! lol My Mom used to get those sheets of stickers too.

We had a S&H...and my aunt had an A&P (we'd go there when visiting). Both long gone from 'round here.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
