Thank you happy for your response. I was going to do a bowel prep, but I'm not going to do that anymore. I'm doing liquids today and tomorrow and then Tuesday they said I could eat up until 6 hours before surgery. I will atleast have some jello or soup or something, just because I don't want to have a completely empty stomach going into anesthesia....trying to minimize puking.
I picked up some fleet enemas today, just did one a minute ago, didn't hurt at all, thank goodness...my fissure is healing, not completely healed, but about 80% there....I will do one tomorrow and can i do one on tuesday morning or no?
I'm really scared actually, terrified of the healing process, but if I survived a hemorrhoidectomy, than I guess this can't be any worse than that. This forum has helped so much, and I will be sure to post everything when I feel up to it.
I'm going to be asking for GA, a MAC just is not a chance I want to take, I don't know why.....so afraid I'm going to wake up, since that's happened before. Opting for the big daddy of GA, will ask for anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea and a local anesthetic for the ride home and to keep me comfortable for a few hours after surgery.
I will report back sometime next week.
Thanks again everybody.

Good luck makem, I'm looking forward to hearing all about it, and yeah If you survived hemmy surgery then you'll be fine

Hilarious StevePain of your emoticon over there, "My ass burns"... I love it.
Oh and happy, I live in US. I couldn't find the aloe fleet enemas, but I'm sure these other one's will work just fine! :) I've stocked up on soup, creamed soup, veggies and fresh fruits like pears, grapes, kiwi and apples. I have miralax and colace, so I'm ready for WAR baby! :)

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

Ditto that--I'll be thinking of you too--post back as soon as you're able!

I am new to all this - except the darn pain - but I do wish you the very best, and a speedy pain free recovery.

Good luck for your Lis tomorrow! i am sure everything will go just fine.

We'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Try to relax and think positive! You'll have a new butt in no time!

Oh ya. I'm a Gemini too. May 31st is my birthday! And about the bowel prep, I was told nothing to eat or drink after midnight except for clear fluids up to 3 hours before and that's it, no enemas or anything. I bought 2 anyways, and was going to do one the night before and one the morning of, but the day before I had 2 BM's and figured that was enough for one day, but I did do the one in the morning. I am kind of a "nervous pooer" so whenever I get nervous I have to go to the bathroom. I didn't want to be waiting in the waiting room in my lovely blue outfit and have to keep running to the bathroom. I wanted to be cleaned out, and hopefully delay my 1st BM for a bit too (that didn't work, I had my 1st the day after surgery), but it did help with the nervous pooing. I didn't have to go at all after I was done with the enema. Well worth it for me.

Thinking of you today :) Your going to love your new butt!
