PlayHardballWithThem: Suggest to your doctor to go buy a softball and stuff it in his underwear for a week.Then go get a second opinion.There may be valid reasons not to do surgery at this or any time but maybe not and since you have a problem that often leads to frequent and uncomfortable poop sessions,you owe it to yourself to see what alternatives there may be for you.Of course be wary of someone too eager to cut
