Thanks for the update Salamon. Is your CRS offering you LIS for surgery? Do you know why he switched your ointment? They are supposed to do the same thing, although, diltiazem is more likely to cause a skin reaction. I'm glad he suggested Miralax, I was just about to tell you how it seems to be the best stool softener out there (at least is seems to work for most on this forum). I have used it for a long time and it seems to be very good at making BMs soft. I take mine by splitting my dose between breakfast and supper. I think this provides me with a consistently soft BM anyway. Maybe that would help you with the hard starts.
Do you have a family history of colon cancer? Has your CRS done a lot of these surgeries?
