Ok, I need advice. Has anyone had fecal incontinence after a fistulotomy? Was it bad? How long did it last? My surgery is scheduled on Sept 18th! Ahh! Im so ready to get it over with and Im so nervous at the same time! I want to go back to work in a week. Is that possible? Im a medical assistant and I work in a physicians office. I dont do heavy lifting, just mainly charting, vital signs and blood/lab tests all day. I usually only have one bowel movement in the morning, so I figure I wont have any issues with that at work since I do my business at home anyway. Ok, I will stop rambling. Please tell me all you can! :)
