Hi Rcece,
Those are some very good points that Buttpalsteven is mentioning. I had LIS 5 days ago, was only numbed up locally, even chatted with the doc while she performed the procedure. In my case the cut is outside the anus, but she did cauterize the fissure inside. She also mentioned right away that I was a heavy bleeder. Yet, there was no stuffing inside my butt. She said I spontaneously started bleeding inside and she put a stitch there.
My recovery so far has been very good and for the most part completely pain free. I had a little bit of pain yesterday, after something that felt like a pinch in my butt. Might have pulled a stitch. In any case, everybody's recovery is different.
From what I gather, main points in terms of recovery are: is the incision inside or outside the anus, are skin tags cut off or not, how large and deep is the fissure, how many fissures are there?
Pooping so far has been pain free, which if it remains that way, is awesome and I am glad I had surgery.
