@lhstephenson FYI to notify a member, put @ in front of their name. If you do a reply to a comment, it adds it automatically. But it doesn't do it if you comment on the first post of the thread.
"Commenting to blinken, who originally posted this question regarding fistula repair in 2020, how are you doing now?"

Hello, I am doing ok. The fistula was never repaired but finally closed or at least has not been an issue in the past few years. I need to be religious in following dietary recommendations in order to keep stool soft. I must not strain because it increases the possibility of re-openeing the fistula thereby necessitating another, permanent colostomy. Eating raisin bran and apple chunks everyday isn't a huge price to pay for the normal bowel movements! I also seldom leave the house before 10a.m. if I can help it. Sometimes it takes a bit longer to complete my bathroom chores. Again-small price to pay. I hope things work out for you!
