Yes, it is much too soon to be thinking the LIS will not be successful. It is very normal to still have pain with bowel movements. It's very encouraging that you are pain free some of the time. Recovery can be very slow and take months for some. You now have 2 cuts to heal down there and that can take time when it's reopened everyday for a BM. As long as they are soft and you are keeping the area clean it will just be a matter of time. Hang in there. Don't lose that excitement, it will happen!
