Ask your surgeon...: There would be no definite answer to your current dilemma. To gain more realistic assessment of your post-mesh umbilical hernia repair and existing prolapsed bowel, your surgeon should possess more about your individual conditions than anyone online so s/he is the best one to balance medical necessity & professional possibilities. Ultimately, you are the one to decide depending upon how desperate.
