Hi! New here and have scheduled LIS soon after many months of pain. The issue I have is that it is scheduled for 17 days before I leave for a cruise, involving an 8 hour non-stop flight, hot tubs and hot springs in Iceland. I'm considering rescheduling for after vacation but afraid that I'll be so uncomfortable that it will be a waste of money. Any thoughts?

I have traveled internationally with my original fissure. It was a terrible experience that I would not recommend. I suggest you push the vacation out for when you are fully recovered.

Thank you for the information. I’m going to call the surgeon this week with questions. I can’t push the vacation as it’s fully paid for, so I may push the surgery back.
