I had internal and external hemorroids removed two weeks today. I honestly feel pretty good, other than a little itch an pain around the surgical area. I can't believe I waited 16 years out of fear. I also had prolapsed bleeders which meant no light slacks for me. I plan on staying on a high fiber diet, take stool softness and take one teaspoon of mineral oil daly. I'm ready to enjoy traveling and embracing my new life.
