well you must have a really good doctor! i'll discuss this with my surgeon the next time i see him and maybe he can tell whether it's the incision or fissure that's still causing me problems...

Cute cat!

Hehehe, thanks noelle. He is my brothers cat, his name is Cooper. Hes the sweetest :)
Yes Juney, i had an excellent CRS. I am glad that I "shopped around" for doctors. The first one i had wasnt gentle at all. In fact, when he did the examination, he pull me apart so hard i thought i could feel the fissure opening more! The doctor I had to do my surgery was soooo gentle and awesome. I figured, if I am going to be getting surgery, I want someone I trust to do it :)

thats great news on your recovery! my dr also told me i "should"take a fiber supplement forever... oh yea...keep that cat away from my "fish"!!

This is awesome! Success stories give everyone else hope.

Yeah, i know right!? I was so terrified that my surgeon was going to cut to deep and I would be scarred with embarrassing issues forever, but everything turned out fine. I think the key is to get a doctor who really listens to you and that you feel comfortable with. Of course, taking care of yourself after the surgery is key to recovery to. I couldn't be happier though, with my results. Some days I still get itchy, and there are sometimes when I still soak in the tub, but my life is 100% better than it was before the surgery. I encourage anyone who has exhausted all their options to go for the surgery. Here is your extra push. Go for it with a doctor you trust that you know is qualified and has experience with this procedure. You wont regret it.
