OK here it goes...went to the colon surgeon yesterday, he told me I had a big rectocele and wants to do some kind of laparoscopy surgery ASAP. He said that it could get worst if I don't have the surgery. I can definitely feel the rectocele coming out when I sit on the toilet and push. I also talked on the phone to a friend of the family, a retired colon surgeon, and he told me to get a second opinion. From what I told him on the phone, he thinks I might no need abdominal surgery, but just anal. He says it's easier to fix that way.

I'm very concerned that the doc I went to see yesterday is a very young, graduated in 1998, completed his internship in 2003 and completed his fellowship training in colon surgery in 2004. I would feel a lot better to have the surgery by a doc with many years of experience.

I would like to hear from you guys that have or had rectocele and surgery. I would really appreciate sharing your experiences and opinion about my situation PLEASE.

Thank you sooo much !

Blessings,
Abi
