Hi OMB, I hope you are starting to feel better. I have discussed another flap, and two surgeons recommended a reflap with a plastic surgeon present for consultation. My understanding is that plastic surgeons are really good at flaps, regardless of their location, so having one in the room will help the CRS make the appropriate cuts. I'm really on the outs though, because I don't know if I can survive another surgery, mentally and physically. It was also recommended to me to get a manometry, which I am considering, but reluctant to do because I do not believe I have a spasm in the least. If anything, after all the botox, LIS, and other stuff, I'm worried I have too little muscle tone, not too much. I would be very reluctant to get LIS again without first trying this flap.
