Hey guys had surgery a week ago to drain abscess, and they found I had a decent fistula that required a seton. All new to me. I got the surgery done in my local hometown and they have recomended me to see my specialist saying that where he connected my pouch to my existing colon is tight. Wondering if anybody has herd of this or is living with a seton and how life is with one of these. Thanks guys for the input.

What you are referring to is an anal stricture, which is a common complication. If you do a search for anal stricture, you'll find a LOT of posts talking about it. It is treated with dilation procedures. Not too complicated most of the time. It may well have been the cause of your fistula.
