Reply to "banding procedure done by Dr. Shen for pouch prolapse"

This is an interesting topic.  I've been wondering if the pouch could prolapse.  What does it feel like?  For me, it feel like my pelvic floor has dropped down, put I can "push" it back up into place.  @scallop  or @CTBarristerr, do my symptoms sound like prolapse?

I have had the banding procedure for prolapses done a few times. Unfortunately it has happened numerous times but each time Dr Shen has been able to fix the problem. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Jessica -- I do have questions: 1- Do you have any idea how many patients have had the banding with Dr. Shen? (He hasn't answered me.). 2- Do you know if there are any downsides or adverse events associated with the banding?  3- Did you have any problems or discomfort following the procedures and if yes, how long did they last?

Thank you so much!
