Agint187, sorry to hear that you have to undergo surgery next month. The biggest hindrance to sitting after surgery initially was pain. I think the more you stay off of it (i.e.. on your side, reclined) the better healing will progress. I am now 5 weeks post op, still with seton. Still draining, bleeding, though pain is not nearly as bad as the first two weeks. I sit a lot at work and went back to work approx 10days or so post op. I don't know if that has slowed my healing (the sitting). I have also had to start prednisone, which doesn't help. You are definitely in a tough spot. Are you going to have a seton? Good luck and will keep you in my thoughts. Let us know how you do.
