Dear Jen, I am so happy to know that you are in good hands- your doctor truly knows what he is doing !!! He is amazing ! I also think that nobody ever did manometry on me because I am also such a tight ass- they have no problem seeing that immediately. I mean, 4 CRS saw me after my LIS and all of them said that I am still VERY tight down there : (. So, buddy, as I said, truly let your incontinence worries aside - pray that he cuts enough !!! You will heal so fast (knock knock knock) - I have NO doubts in that. You got better by using creams - it also shows that tightness is the culprit ! I think that regarding tightness you are now where I am after the LIS and as you see it was not enough : (. I now have recurring fissures that do not hurt that much but are still there to make me miserable and anxious and uncomfortable during BM : (.
Go, dear buddy, let him fix it , once and for all and be free !!!!!
Corsica - I don't know about Botox and LIS : ( combo. Did Botox make you any more relaxed down there? If yes, maybe it would be vise to wait couple of more weeks so CRS can feel the tightness during surgery - I really am guessing now here , he should know hopefully !
Love to all !
