    I had a sphincterectomy recently, and it is not as bad as you would imagine. Not at all - the anus actually works quite well for what you need it (pooping). In my particular case, I had some complications which necessitate further surgery(ies), but the sphincterectomy itself was neither followed by particularly much pain, nor particularly much discomfort, except for the complications that are specific to my case.
