My pouch had also prolapsed and I had to have surgery to remove it. I had the surgery done June 6th and returned to work on August 11th. Since I risked short gut syndrome if they made another pouch, the surgeon just had to reconnect me. I'm back on medicine to help control the frequency. But he said he'd rather control it with medicine than to keep doing surgery. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!!
Dr Shen diagnosed me with pouch prolapse about a year ago. I also have a stricture that he dilates every six months and he fills the deep ulcers with kenalog cream. I feel really great for about a month and then its back to the usual ick that we all deal with.

Honestly he didn't seem really concerned about the prolapse issue so I trust him and stopped freaking out when I heard the word "prolapse"
