hello - 
i wanted to post my experience about hemorroidectomy surgery and my recovery.

I had hemorroids as a result of two normal child birth .I decided to get them done due to hygiene reasons.
i started to read forum after scheduling my surgery and i almost backed out the night before freaking out about the pain.

The surgery itself was a simple one (2 exterrnal hemorroidectomy & 2 internal banding).I was on oxycodone and the pain was actually minimal.It was more of an uneasy, sore feeling.
But i had my first bm 5 on day 5 and that made childbirth seemed easy :) The same level of pain continued for 2 more BMs and then there was the ray of light.

I cant stress enough on the sitz baths before and after and that seriously helped/helping me.it is now 2 weeks post surgery and i'm back at work.I have a sedentry job and i'm uncomfortable sitting down.
moving around/walking helps.

sizbath , ice , rest are key.good luck to people going in to surgery!
