Aw, yes, it takes ages! Sorry to say! My fistula has been healing since june and I've still got problems.
You have to measure your healing time in weeks and months - not days and weeks.
Make sure you are doing all you can to help it - good diet, stool softeners,and baths to keep it clean.
It will heal eventually! Honest! This is my second fistula surgery, my first one was a superficial one, and it did heal up quicker than this one is.
