Does anyone have anal fissures that has gotten worse since WLS?

I was always constipated in general but now since WLS I have gotten impacted and had to physically remove the fecal matter from my own anus. I was in too much pain to leave the toliet and the feces was stuck. I was told to use an enema and senna but the stool was too large to pass. It didnt help that the stool was hard so it nearly ripped me a new "hole". That was 2 weeks ago and I cut down my iron intake to 1x day and added senna w/stool softner. My new problem is still pain in the rectum area. I do the sitz bath 2x daily and that helps but if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. PS I drink 6c of water daily.
