Sheila,

There is a procedure called banding that is done in the surgeons

office - not too uncomfortable according to my Dad who has had two

done in the past month. Basically they strangulate the little

suckers and they fall off...Could this be an option for you?

No SnookZ, my hemorrhoids are internal until I have a BM. I have tied

suture tightly around some long moles I had on my tummy after WLS and

they became necrotic then they fell off. They weren't too painful, but

I didn't have to sit on that area alot (up and down- up and down-lol).

Coupon , I don't know about the hemorrhoid pain being worse than

WLS to my Dad as he isn't overweight to have had that pain. My best

friend had OPEN RNY surgery twice (revison a year after the initial

RNY), and they only thing she took was Tylenol for the pain. My

abscessed teeth pain was 100,000 thousand times worse than my WLS

pain, and I haven't had " thrombosed " hemorrhoids, so I can't tell.

Everyone's perception of pain is different, but to my Dad the

hemorrhoid surgery was worse than anything he had ever had.

I would rank my pain as abscessed tooth the most major pain I have

ever had. Second place would be RNY, 3rd-toenail being ripped from my

big toe by the bottom of a door. 4th would be a tie between GB

surgery/hemorrhoids/D&C w/ exploratory lap.

lol, Sheila...You had to know that being a nurse I would ask...Only

another nurse would want specifics about hemmroids, eh?

Or BM's...lol, I have been needing lactulose throughout the

pregnancy, but today, miracle on miracles, success! Must be true

that sometime during the 2nd trimester, the poop issue gets

better...I will take this one day of no struggle as a gift!

Hope things are better on your " end " ...lol, couldn't resist

Hugs
