Hello! My doctor gave me the same advice, waiting longer allows that tissue to heal but he ended up feeling comfortable after two months and a good enema result!
My problems started in January so it had been 2 months post takedown at that point. It started with an annoying rectal pain when I had a BM but it slowly got worse so the pain is just there at random times even when I don't need to use the Restroom. Also, I only had a few inches removed but half of my rectum was taken; however, my surgeon wasn't worried about
control issues. Since January I will just be doing something and out of nowhere I'm running to the bathroom and sometimes I barely make it. It's never liquid form its always a soft former BM.
I bet you are so ready for surgery! I was so sick with my bag (from the endometrosis and complications) I finally felt good the week I had my reversal! Go figure!
I hope you're doing and feeling good!!
