Hello Everyone,
My surgery date is Nov 13, I worked so hard to obtain this date. I am afraid I may back out of surgery.
We are going to get real personal here lol. I suffer from hemorrhoids and an occasional anal fissure that tears about once a month. So basically I have a hard time passing regular stools.
I keep seeing people talk about constipation after surgery. I can’t handle that, not at all. I take stool softeners daily in a pill. Most days it hurts passing soft stools. My doctor told me I can start my liquid diet early to help lose some extra weight. I did. I also got extremely constipated. Literally had to go to the ER for help. If this is how it’s gonna be after surgery I don’t know if I can do it.
Let’s say One day after surgery could I actually crush my stool softeners to help me?
I just want to break down and cry. Sorry for whining here but man my life depends on this surgery and I can’t handle knowing that I might have to go through what I just went through..
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
Casey.
