Thanks for the feedback/support. I saw my CRS at LIS+3wks. He said it was healing nicely. When I mentioned the irritation is said recovery is 6-8 weeks. I definitely had a fissure, plus a skin tag, and evidently an old, small fistula underneath the scar tissue. I dealt w/ it for 3 yrs and even though there was no pain, I was tired of the irritation and thought the LIS would help (as did the CRS). Things are definitely not as "tight" as before judging by how easily gas escapes. So it the surgery did do something. The irritation is, however, as you mentioned a result of the area getting "dirty".
