Looking for success stories of ppl who recovered from fistula
Return to FISTULA - Are you having surgery for a Fistula or already had it?
Cporosus1 wrote:Basically the point to get across is this- don't let the myriad of horror stories online freak you out and keep in mind two things- 1.) Most people (90%+) who have a simple fistulotomy for a simple fistula do not have a recurrence and 2.) People who successfully recover from fistula are FAR less likely to post online and tell their story than people who are having recurring problems. Those 90% likely move on and don't bother with message boards (hence the wealth of horror stories and drought of success stories).

That is what we are here for. And most who have had the surgery are off here after a month. So, I think we are doing what we set out to do, offer advice and support.
