I'm 12 days post LIS and feel 99% better! I no longer have pain with BM and it's so nice. I still have some slight tightness from where they cut but I love having regained my life. Hopefully this resolves the issues for good.

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.
