One thing to note about him: he prefers doing a fissurectomy rather than LIS procedure, because he is confident in the results and said he's been doing it so long with so little complications so why stop. I had my surgery Feb 26 2012 and have been fluctuating in my recovery. Some days I don't have any blood at all, but sometimes I have a streak of blood along the length of the stool. Other days, after I drop the stool and tighten up the sphincter, a drop of blood falls in the water. BMs and the rest of the day is SO much less painful than having a fissure. In fact, the rest of the day isn't painful. Only the actual BM is like a 2 out of 10 pain level. Actually, just gonna post a new thread because I have questions for people who had fissurectomys.
Hi, L.A.F. -
It sounds like you're doing better. Healing takes time and patience, that's all I know. I had both procedures - so, it's taken a little longer for me to feel better. I AM better - but not yet quite healed, to my satisfaction. I'll get there, hopefully.
