That is great Mamalucia! I'm so glad that you are doing so well.
I'm not sure why you opted against the LIS. My surgeon was very PRO LIS in order to prevent any future fissures. I am very glad to have had it done as it is much easier to go the bathroom and I don't have to worry so much about getting another fissure!
I agree that performing the LIS without your consent was very wrong, but it may be a blessing in disguise for you.
