Hi everyone,
I've been lurking here for a bit, and now that I'm three days out from surgery I figured it was time to introduce myself. I'm Lana, 20 years old, and I had LIS with skin tag removal on Friday morning. I've suffered from a very severe fissure for at least a year now, although I suspect it may have been present far longer without causing major symptoms. I've gained a lot from reading this forum, and now that I've actually gone through with surgery I figured it was time to start participating and hopefully giving back to other members who are scared or in pain. We're all going through this awfulness together, and I'm so glad a place like this exists to talk about it. In real life I can only talk about this with my husband and my best friend, but neither of them really understand all of the pain and fear involved in this.
xx Lana
