Return to LIS - Considering surgery or already had it?

I was straining every time I had a BM as it seemed like the opening was too tight which was the last straw for me to go ahead and get the LIS. If your sphincter is already tight, you will not have any incontinence issues unless the surgeon makes a mistake because it indicates your sphincter is good and strong. I have had zero incontinence issues for the now 18 months since my LIS (I was off the charts tight down there). LIS has a 90-95% success rate. Try to find a great surgeon and you should be fine. Get your old life back. Best decision I ever made.Suffering2long wrote:Oh my gosh Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou conifer for updating us all! I understand that when you feel good and healed, it’s difficult to get back on this forum because you want to move on. It helps tremendously!
I appreciate your explanation of leakage and it does make me less scared. I can handle a few “marks”..especially if it improves with time. I just don’t want to poop myself in public!
It sounds like you have your life back and I’m so glad to hear it. Hopefully that will be me soon enough. I’m seeing my surgeon in early May.
My tag site healed and is no longer an issue. I’m still getting a very tight feeling which burns during BM and can make things feel stuck and slow to pass.
Please update us if you can and best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
