I had fissurectomy/LIS in April...developed a PAINFUL skintag in June.The skintag has hurt every day except for last week for a few days but I had already scheduled an appt with my surgeon to take a look. Of course it was lovely that day, not inflamed etc. so I had hope I was finally getting over this and we decided not to do anything. (i dont care what my ass looks like, if that skin tag doesnt hurt, why mess with it)? Well yesterday and today it hurt like hell again and I called dr. he wanted to see me while it was hurting so I went in today. He couldnt believe the difference from last Thurs! So we scheduled to have it hacked off on this coming Monday. he also wants to take a look and make sure nothing else is going on. I feel fine otherwise but this is getting me down ...it's been 9 months since all this started and surgery 5 months ago...I am soooo ready to have my life not revolve around my ass pain!that being said, this is nothing compared to the fissure pain. This is like a headache in my ahole!Anyway, so I will be doing preop stuff on Sunday, surgery is Monday a.m. Clear liquids on Sunday. Should I still take miralax on Sunday so that whatever comes out on mon will be soft? Or will the cleaning out on Sunday be enough and I should just wait until Monday after surgery to continue Miralax? I forgot to ask the dr....but I think someone on here might know. Thanks and wish me luck! (my friends tease me that I will have the nicest looking hole around and I will be ready to model...lol)
