Return to FISTULA - Are you having surgery for a Fistula or already had it?

I just wanted to add I just literally got my superficial fistulotomy done this morning and WOW, pain is a lot worse than my lateral internal Sphincterotomy. To get an idea, didn’t take any perks for my LIS procedure... fistulotomy I am taking 2-3 a day and constantly in the shower or bath. There is no comparison but everyone who has gotten a fistulotomy knows what pain really is.
To add I have been standing all day, I can’t lay down, can’t sit, and ice packs so nothing. To add injury to insult my OAB has flared up and I have urinated 20 times today.
I really hope this surgery is worth it or i’m gonna insist on one of those colon bags so my ring of fire hole heals up without bowel movements lol.
In a male and gauze daoes nothing, i’m hitting up the wifys maxi pads

Looking for answers and information on similar to your post Chris. I just had surgery for a superficial fistula and removal of a giant skintag from a prior abcess. Dr told me to expect full recovery in 2 weeks and reading some of these posts have me terrified. My surgery was 4 days ago and as expected I'm still in excruciating pain. My issue is, I'm getting married in 5 weeks! Dr assured me it will be fine by then but everyone is talking about these long recoveries and I'm so scared now.
Advice to speed healing? Suggestions to not ruin my wedding/honeymoon? I never would've agreed to surgery if I had any clue it would be such a long recovery. Feeling pretty anxious right now, any words of wisdom would be welcome!
