Jenn, The question I would ask is who did the three procedures to attempt to remedy your anal incontinence. My hope is that there was an colonorectal surgeon involved at some point. If so, I would discuss future options with him/her. Further, if there has not been a surgeon involved to this point, by all means sit down and talk with one about your options... Lynn
