Txrose, sorry to hear you are having problems and just have surgery, many members here had the fissures, hems and fistula experience.
I know how it looks like after a fistula repair as my son had one fix when he was 9 months old, yes the wound is open and no stitches, I also felt like it was painful for a baby so I can imagine how it will be with an adult, his healed nice and even and now at 26 he never had any more problems with that general region of the scar, for what I have read here with members that had fistula repair some find it to be no as bad.
So hang in there and take your medications as per doctor order and take it easy so you can heal faster.
