Hi Marg
Usually skin tag removal is optional. I just asked my surgeon to remove it during the LIS and he did. I just found out he sent it off for pathology so another unexpected invoice to pay (not super happy about that!).
So yes I'm not a great patient and I have been able to enjoy life to some extent during recovery. First week though I did nothing and just stayed at home not even going out for groceries. Second week had I not been on holiday I am not sure I would have done much but bm's are what cause me problems this week. I have to time my day around them so I am home to bathe afterwards! Also still being on painkillers is not ideal!
