Just thought I would share with you all, I had my fissure surgery yesterday, I was soooooo desperate after 3 long years of suffering and 6 months of complete agony I just could not take it anymore. Spent a long week waiting for the day, was very nervous all week, cried alot, I came very close to quitting, my biggest fear was the incontinence or the procedure not even working but I hung in there.
The surgery went really well, I expected to be in complete agony and have heavy bleeding, but I don't really have alot of either.
Moved my bowels this morning that went quite well, had a little discomfort where the fissure is, had the occasional spasm maybe 1 or 2, but not as much as before surgery, had diarrhoea all afternoon due to my IBS, had abit of discomfort but nothing I couldn't handle, as for the bleeding, I hardly have any, I have slight spotting when i wipe myself but thats it.
My only concern is that when I sit or stand I feel like I have a slight weakness, sort of like the feeling after child birth (for any Mums out there)not sure whether that is because of discomfort or whether it is anxiety, but so far so good, have had no leakage at all.
So over all it is great, but it still is early days yet so I will keep you all posted.
Feel free to ask any questions
