I will be honest - I do have scarred skin that is basically like little skin tags in several places, but the doctor did warn me to expect that. It feels like I replaced 2 big skin tags with several smaller ones. However, I was told that while it's there, it's healthy tissue, unlike the tags it replaced.
As for my fissures, I have no complaints. The anoplasty and LIS helped relieve my stenosis considerably, and I have zero negative side affects. There is zero leakage, zero issues with urgent BMs, zero issues with bleeding, and zero issues with pain. Granted, I'm still early in the overall healing process, but I'll take it.
I am back to work full time - sitting, mind you - and while the first few days were not comfortable, I hardly notice it now. I am also continuing to take my metimucil and miralax daily. I've found that 1/2 a dose of the miralax is just right for me (took me a while and several urgent/water stools to figure this out...).
So, again, I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to everyone at this sight that helped me through the roughest few weeks of my life so far. Thank you all! I am hopeful to continue updating this post in the near future with all positive news.
