Ten weeks ago I had a hemorrhoidectomy. As a result, I developed an anal fissure. After all this pain and suffering, I decided to get the LIS done. My LIS was done today at 2:30pm CT and it lasted about an hour (including anesthesia.) The gauze packing came out an hour after I left the hospital. I was much larger than I expected. At first I thought I had to BM, but what I sat down, the packing shot out. So far, I have not experienced much pain. I small amount of pain was about 1/3 the pain that I had from this mornings BM. Of course, this maybe because of the anesthesia and the medication that I took. My doctor put me on two different pain meds alternating meds every four hours. I will continue to update my recovery for those who are interested.
