Has anyone here ever been to a colorectal surgeon and what was your experience like. The last time I saw a colorectal surgeon was in 1992 and I was diagnosed with an anal fistula and I had an anal fistulectomy. First my appointment with this doctor was traumatizing, I can't write here about what happened. Second, the surgery was traumatizing as well. When I got home from the surgery I decided to look at the area with a mirror and I was horrified with what the doctor did to my body. I have recently sent a portal message to my Gastroenterologist requesting a recommendation for a colorectal surgeon and the reason that I want to go see one. I was in the ER in November of 2023 and I needed an enema and they were unable to insert the tube due to the amount of pain it caused me and so they had to sedate me and then do the enema ( a Gastroenterologist was there. )
* The MA at my Gastroenterologist office just called me on the phone to set me up with a Telehealth appointment with my Gastroenterologist this Wednesday. I'm hoping that he is going to focus on the subject of my last two patient portal messages which is about my anal rectal area and not focus on the fact that I sent two very long portal messages when he does not like long portal messages.
