Had my hemorrhoid banding today - I want folks to know that it is NOT as bad as the many posts I have read over the past several weeks. The procedure itself was virtually pain free. It's been about 7 hours and I feel discomfort - more like an ache - but again not as bad as I had anticipated. I was given Tylenol w/Codeine but so far I'm just taking regular Tylenol. I'm supposed to take sitz baths 3-4 times a day. I hope things go along smoothly the next couple of days.

" An updated - 2nd day. More discomfort through the evening and into the night. Doing several baths and took the Tylenol w/Codeine - but Advil works BEST. Worried about going to the bathroom this morning but the pain is a bit less this morning. "

" Well it's been a week now and things are better I guess but now I find out that I have an external hemorroid - and I wish she had told me that when I saw her for the banding. I kept wondering what that thing was! So I guess I'll have to live with it. "
