This community was a great help back when I was struggling with pilonidal disease, so I wanted to share my experience here in case it could benefit others. I decided to go with the cleft lift surgery about a year ago and haven't had an issue since fortunately. I didn't want to celebrate too early; that's why I waited a year before leaving this post :).

I have resumed all activities like rock climbing and jiu-jitsu for a few months now. I can't say I'm completely past the trauma of pilonidal sinus, so probably the one thing I'm going to continue avoiding post-op, is wearing tight clothing.

I had my surgery with Dr. Lambert in the DFW area. I'll try to be active here for a while in case anyone has any questions. Thank you all!

tight clothing? I do quite the opposite. I wear loose clothing

Yeah I meant to say I would wear loose clothing after surgery. One thing worth mentioning is that I didn't even realize how tight my jeans were until I tried them on after surgery and saw how uncomfortable they were.
