I exprienced this too. I went from 7-8 (pre-op BMs) on the pain scale to a 2-3 (post-op BMs) on the pain scale. My slightly educated guess is that there is simply more room/bigger opening and less pressure so the fissure(s) aren't stretched as much. Also, maybe some healing takes place with the increased blood flow following surgery. Afterall, that is the main point of surgery. My .02 cents...I'm certianly no expert.
