I had prolapsing hemmies before the procedure (had had to push them back in after every movement for about 5 years), but they no longer protruded after my LIS. They prolapse again now, but that took about a year and a half to fully become what they'd been before. One HUGE mistake I made though, was thinking that the surgeon had forgotten to push them back in after he'd been in there working, and tried to push them back in after my LIS. It turned out that the tissue I was trying to push back in was NOT the prolapsed hemmies, but was new swelling caused by the surgery. I ended up in extreme pain for about 12 hours, and that was about 12 hours after I got home, and fully believe that the pain was self-inflicted. Other than that 12 hour, really painful stretch of time, the pain wasn't nearly as bad as the fissure pain, and gradually decreased over the first week. After that, the pain was minimal, and only when sitting on a hard surface, for another two weeks. All the best today and I hope that you recover quickly.
