Surgery is still something I’m considering, although I won’t know for sure until I see a CRS next month. I just have a couple of questions for those of you who have had surgery (either LIS with or without fissurectomy or Botox):
1. Did you need to get an enema before surgery? It seems like the pre-op differs among surgeons and some need to take an enema before surgery while others don’t.
2. Did you have trouble urinating after surgery and, if you did, did you need a catheter? I keep reading about people having trouble with this after surgery. Getting a catheter really freaks me out.
Honestly, the more I read about the surgery, the more it scares me. : ( I know it helps so many people, but it’s the whole process and recovery I fear. Despite all this, I will still consider it, depending on what my CRS says.
