Second thoughts - LIS surgery

I'm having second thoughts, help!

Are you having, or have you had a Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS)? Please share your experiences here, or ask any questions.

Return to LIS - Considering surgery or already had it?

Wow you are really lucky. I'm on week 2 today and I wouldn't even think of sitting even now. I'm 300% better then I was before LIS, but the site is still really sore. I'm also in school but I said F**k school I need my life back... I'm not behind or anything, I just did 3 weeks worth of work in 1 week so I didn't have to worry about it. Glad to hear it worked for you. If this didn't work for me, honestly suicide seemed like the only way out. To happier days, and our lives back!

Update: Hi everyone. It's been 7 months since I had surgery - LIS. I'm doing well. No more pain after BM. I still have control of my sphincter. haha I am not soiling myself. I can hold a fart. Trust me it's not loose. I hope those who are in pain will find a good colorectal surgeon and find the best procedure for their healing.

Those in the Philippines, PM me, I can recommend my surgeon. Salamat everyone.
