After off and on battle with fissure for 2yrs I decided after my latest and longest bout of 2+ months to look into the surgery. My GI did not want me to do it until we went through a the Nitro routine. I also had chemo 3 months for a blood cancer and it caused me to be very constipated and then bad diariaha that caused it to come back
I have been in serious pain and spasms for 3-6 hrs after BM taking stool softeners and eating very good diet but no relief.
Had the LIS yesterday in Beverly Hills Went very smooth and I was back home in less than 3hours. Felt no pain when I woke up or last night This AM I am sore but had a BM that was very soft with no pain but a little blood on the stool and on the paper. Took a bath and just relaxing. I will post update tomorrow

Congratulations on your surgery - great that you are relaxing and not in pain.
Wishing you a very speedy recovery.

Day 2
Had a good nights rest and woke up and had BM. Agiain very soft and no pain just a little blood on paper. Took bath and had some oatmeal
Had 2nd BM ( this is common for me) larger but still soft and no pain. Took another bath and feeling good. I am swollen as the CRS said I would be and a little itchy I am hoping it is starting to heal as that is a good sign
All in all I have to say this has not been any where near the big deal I has thought it would be so cross my fingers it will stay that way

YAY!!!! So glad you are making out great!!! Sounds like you are on the road to a great recovery!!! After everything else you have been through, you deserve to feel great...Wishing you continued pain free healing and thanks for posting your experience. It is so nice to read good things!!!

Day 3 same as Day 2
today is Day 4 and I had a little bit of a hard start to my BM this am. It hurt just a tad more of a stretch and since I have been eating bad ( some cookies and Ice cream) the BM had a streak of blood on it all the way down but no blood on paper. Just a tiny bit of pain for 5 minutes after and now im fine. The bleeding was from an area that is not near the fissure so I assume it is the incision so I will beb ack to a very bland diet for the next 2 weeks and just in time for Christmas no less.
did anyone else have this issue ?

So it's been a week today and I over did it a little this weekend with a long hike and an old GF Was pretty sore all night with some returning bleeding and pain but roughed it out and went to work and feel great now
Had some wine this weekend and felt a touch constipated
I'll be on the diet routine at least until Xmas

its now the end of day 8
good day felt a little pain with morning BM but it was big but no bleeding my PM BM was fine no pain at all
gotta stick to the diet had chinese for lunch as my work mates dont understand id rather have a salad !!!

It is now day 11 ( Friday Dec 23)
Feeling really good no discharge just a touch of blood after another large BM this am
Have my 2 week follow up on the 27th
Seems like forever since I had the surgery and no pain !!!
Merry Christmas happy New Yr Happy Hannukah ETC

I am so happy you are doing so well!!! So safe to say, I am sure you are glad you chose this route!!! Getting ready for my surgery in 13 days and have the jitters. Hoping I do as well as you!!

To say I am happy with the results would be a major understatment
I have somewhat forgotten all the HELL I was in
still taking it easy
my surgeon was also an expert from what I saw online
I am headed back for my follow up will post results later
hang in there it will be a breeze
