I never thought I would reach a point in my life where I would rejoice in bum surgery but here I am! Saw my CRS today and he didn't even examine, just said that if I was back and not feeling good he had no problem putting me on a waiting list for surgery in the next couple of months. I will have to go back before I think and the surgery will definitely be with him which is a relief. He also said he'd take the skin tag off! Hooray!
I'm going to start being scared about this in the next few weeks but for now I'm just so pleased to finally have a result after a year of suffering.
