Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.
I think my fistulas were similar, had the surgery about 15 years ago, all good. Allow plenty of time for rest as you recover from the surgery. Process might not be fun but the outcome is worth it. Good luck.
