Reply to "Going for takedown surgery"

except for a fistula that's been there since day one (21 years ago), i've had great luck with my surgery.  i had to learn how to use my diaphram muscle to push down on your pouch in order to excavate, and at the same time RELAX your anal muscle.  the nurse gave me a pillow to put against my stomach to aid in learning.

otherwise... it felt great to get off the medications and start living again.

good luck !
