Hi, I need advice on what to ask the Professor I am going to see next Tuesday re. repair of my recto vaginal fistula. I have been quite ignorant to the different methods of repair and have gone along with my ex- consultant who quite frankly has not been much help and after three unsuccessful attempts at repair, this is probably the final attempt. I am shocked to read that all you ladies from the USA stay in bed for a couple of weeks at least and inactive for another month. Here in the UK, I have not been advised what to do post op. and have just followed my own instincts and tried to do as little as possible for about six weeks.
