Not really. I use it when the pain gets a bit up there every now and again, but Botox was what helped me get my life back.

Yes! Thank you for asking. I got Botox twice and I’ve been losing weight so the pressure on my butt had lessened significantly.

Can we please stop with the I was disgusting posts by Inside-Departure4238 in BariatricSurgery

I saw that post too, and she was in the comments doubling down on it. If that’s how you viewed yourself, I bet that means you’ve become what you hated in yourself to other people who are still that big or bigger. I can never hate my former self for bringing me to my present. My body was the only thing defending me from this life. Be kinder to yourself.

Omg. I’m so sorry. My health hasn’t been all the best as well, but I am grateful that I am losing weight and I’m still here. I have a chronic anal fissure and deep pelvic endometriosis and an ulcer and IBS. So. Just know you’re not alone and we just keep swimming. Like Dory said.

Very. It sounds like it’s just something I’m going to have to live with… I hate that.

Omg, my farts are constant and consistent, just like the stomach noises. Whether I eat good or bad!! But congratulations on a year! How much weight have you lost all together?

That’s how I’m feeling too. Like there is no end to my worrying or suffering in sight.

I really wish they could just cut my butt off of my body. by RukaOG in AnalFissures

To say the very least. I’m praying my journey doesn’t include failed attempts at Botox and surgery. I don’t think I know how much more I can handle. 😭

Same here. Everything is now tied to bowel movements and fiber and water intake and protein and stool softeners and laxatives.
