Hi all,
I am a little nervous because I am having surgery to remove a 7 1/2 inch keloid scar from my abdomen on Friday. Not sure if they will do a spinal or general anesthesia yet. I am worried this may set me backwards with the fissures, etc. The Dr. wants me to avoid having too many pain meds which can cause constipation, and today asked me how my pain tolerance was. I used to think it was high until my fissure and hemmoroid surgery, I'm not sure anymore. Also general anesthesia could slow down the digestive system, so I am thinking spinal may be a better option.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Jo
