Hey everyone ( merry Xmas ) just as my title states, I’m post lis op from sept. I’ve tried to be patient with the healing process as I’ve read different healing times from weeks to months. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s worked. I’m still in pain with the fissure. My dr signed me off last month but did say come back after another 2 months if the pain is still there. Any advice on what they can do next ?

i'm wondering the same thing. it's been 10 wks since my LIS and i do feel better than i did before surgery. however i sometimes still get pain and a bit of blood even though the stool is practically perfect...i don't know if it just needs more time or the LIS has failed... i have my apt mid jan so i guess i'll find out then what my options are.

I'm 6 weeks post fissurectomy and still having bad days. I'll go 3 or 4 days with minimal discomfort then out of no where I will have a day sometimes two with pain. It's only a 3-4 on pain scale but still interfering with my work day. I'm sick of this as I'm sure you guys are too.

7 weeks after LIS , fissure is still here,moderate discomfort and itching during bm and after.

8 weeks after LIS. Fissure is OK, but the area of surgery on my left side bothers me after bowel movements. Dealing with a fungal infection in the whole area (anus and between buttocks). I hope we all get well soon. Much love and support to everyone.

Hey guys! I had hemorrhoid surgery in September 2018, and then LIS in November 2018. I do not seem to have elasticity in the anal area anymore and the area feels tight and narrow. Is anyone else experiencing something like this? The surgeon told me that it should improve with time, but I am wondering if this is normal. Please share your experience. Thank you.

Hi @Patient1 im now 8 weeks as well,i had that same bother after bm , also on the left side where the fissure is ,and extends to form a skin tag on the top of the anus,its been itchy and annoying, but its getting better with time,doesn't seem that the skin tag will disappear but the the pain and itching from it is decreasing.
i also felt that im narrow as well in the beginning but it did got better with time.
