Closed vs Open LIS and Results

Postby FishBoi » 24 Jan 2012, 00:12

I'm scheduled for my LIS on Feb 6. Very nervous but enough is enough so I'm gonna bite the bullet this time and do it. Since I have suffered from this superficial fissure on and off for 7 years it's time. My CRS said that since it is superficial one he will perform a "closed" LIS. I read on past posts here about the differences between "closed" vs "open".
My question is anyone have one or the other done and how was your recovery timeframe/results? I have read here some with quick recovery others longer so I'm guessing it may have to do with the type of LIS performed.
Any feedback of your experience will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
