Hi, queen -
Thank you for your response. I'm wondering why my crs thinks it would be practical to remove the fissure . . .? Why don't all crs's either do both procedures or just the LIS? (rhetorical question). I talked with him about the fissurectomy yesterday, to some extent - and he seemed not worried about it, at all . . .
Gosh, darn. I guess I'm having pre-op panic. I've read some depressing stories (even on this forum) about post recovery, etc. My procedure, because of the fissurectomy, will probably be a bit longer . . . I don't know.
When I go in on Monday, I'm going to ask him again about the fissurectomy. Gads. I just don't know what to think. My AF is small . . . one crs didn't see it, the other crs said I need "time and fiber." But the crs yesterday said he didn't think it would go away on its own - and IMO, I really don't believe he's "cut happy." He was simply offering his opinion, as someone who's seen this type of thing, time and again.
I don't know.
I can get through pain (I think). I'm just worried about post-op recovery.
