Thanks rachelraven for the input. I'm continent and haven't been told that surgery could make me incontinent. However, I know that's always a risk among many other complications and issues. I really would like a doctor to explain my different options. I'm disappointed the cc won't do that. I know they are hoping my fistula will go away and heal. Me too but I don't think it's going to happen. I know every person is different. I'm already feeling pressure and pain after only two months post op. I'm the kinda person if I have something to work towards it helps me stay motivated and optimistic.
