Yes. I still have my anus. She sewed it from the inside. Have to clean it everyday. Just light mucous. No big deal.
I thought she was going to remove it but after reading some who have had it removed I'm glad she didn't. Sounds painful and I think or know that's why my recovery was so fast. I will never get another pouch but she left me with that option.
Right after the surgery she told me this. And tounge in cheek I asked her why? I said you won't give me another pouch! (she knew doing that again would be too much for me) . She said I could consult another surgeon if I wanted to. I said no thanks. Lol. I'm done and don't ever want to go through any of that again. Never. I don't have pstd but if I do it again I will. It was the most traumatic thing I ever went through. But it's good now. I'm where I want to be.
Richard.
