[@nishabanga648]

How are you doing now?

[@bushrafirdous2727]

Please make detailed vedio on your liquid diet. You are really helpful

Hey, I am dealing with same situation now a days, for last couple of months I am dealing with this fissure which has impacted on my mental health badly, cannot focus on anything, btw how are you feeling now ? was surgery worth it ? I am also thinking about going for LIS surgery..

[@shannyb.9714]

Honestly, it was a life changing decision. I do not regret doing it at all, I have been cautious since with my intakes (still on Colace and Lax-A-Day / Miralax), but I can now function normally without any pain.

[@bushrafirdous2727]

Hii how are you now? Post LIS surgery for fissure please do make vedio on post recovery tips , precautipns etc and did the surgery was worth it.

[@shannyb.9714]

I will see, I might make another video but honestly I'm doing perfectly good. I think the surgery was worth it, since it changed my life from now being able to do anything, to basically 100% back to previous health. I have to stay cautious though, since it can re-occur more easily than the average person (stool softeners are still my best friends)

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

Nice video. Can we have an update plz?

[@shannyb.9714]

Doing much better, I was completely healed in about 2-3 weeks, and functionning normally in about 10 days.

@@shannyb.9714 Thank you. So happy for you.

[@melaniegraves4951]

How have you been doing since the video? I had lis surgery 2 weeks ago. Your story and experience in the last 7 months sounds very similar to mine that’s why I want to reach out to you. If you want to touch base let me know.

[@bushrafirdous2727]

How you are feeling now

[@shannyb.9714]

I'm feeling relieved, I didn't have any pain comeback, but I'm still very cautious with my intake, and staying of stool softeners for now.

[@dog24]

are you able to sit for long...are you able to ride bike in drive car for long ..iny issues?

[@DeveraX07]

If out of solutions, try the solvents

[@shannyb.9714]

What are the solvents ?

[@princessloca2623]

I'm going to have this LIS ..do you recommend ? I am worried about incontinence. Are you issues gone.. did the procedure heal you?

[@shannyb.9714]

I was, too, very worried about the incontinence issues. I did not have any issues, nor infection. I have been very cautious with my healing, I stayed on the liquid diet for about a week after surgery, and started eating back normally while staying on stool softeners. In about only 2-3 days, I think I realized that I would not have incontinence issues because I was not only able to hold gas in, but I actually had to push to let it out (because mainly of the inflammation I guess). Up to date, still no issue related to this.
