Did any of you get hemorrhoids after surgery? I got banded on the 28th and have had a really bad one ever since. Friday evening it started bleeding and hasn't stopped. I'm going to head out to the drug store today and see what I can get for it and I guess call my doctor tomorrow. How embarrassing : (

No, I've never had one, but I certainly hope yours improves soon! Sounds awful!

thats another area that pre ops need to clear up with their dr... those who have existing problems with hemerrhoids... is the surgery going to aggravate them??

I didn't have a pre-existing problem...

Hey did your hemerrhoids... get better i was banded Aug 11, 2011

hemerrhoids started two weeks ago

I have them now they are worse

I do have them really bad.....the only thing that i can see that helps is ice packs and stizt bath, after movement get you a sandwich bag, fill with crushed ice, lay ice pack on directly for atleast 15 mins. Maybe increase your fiber, if your constipated it will make them worse, hope this helps.

I've had them since after my first son was born buy some supositories and keep them in the fridge also cream those cold suppositories will make them feel better. The cream relieves them and a hot bath also helps. I've been dealing with them they have had me in tears several times. The pre op diet about killed me. Since I've been banded and hardly eat I hardly go# 2 I'm sure.when I go to mushie food that will change.
