6 month update
by: BuchananR on Fri, Jan 09 2009

Well, my second fistulotomy surgery (1st one was two months before the 2nd) was 6 months ago. I still feel the need to clean a little more than normal after I go #2. I still seem to have the gas. I soak once a day for about 10 minutes. That sure beats 3x a day for 20 minutes. The healing took alot longer than I expected. The Doctor said 8/10 weeks. It took longer. I would say at least 5 months. It’s different for every body.
I feel great and I am glad it is over!!!
