You already had your surgery for two months. I want to kow how your are doing with your fistulotomy. I just had my surgery 5 days ago and I have been feeling very depressed. After the surgery, I had to keep running to bathroom everything after I eat or drink something. I run to bathroom at least 10 times a day. How can I go back to work?? Also, I notice that I am not able to hold my gas or stool. If I have to go, I have to go immediately and I am not able to wait. Is it normally? I am in my mid-30 and it is too early to feel like an elderly. I am so concern of the incontinence. Please share with me your road of recovery. Did you experience the similar thing several days after the surgery? Will this eventually go away and get back to normal? Your sharing will be greatly appreciated.
