iv had three hemroid proceedures this year. i had nine huge hemis and im only thirty yrs old. i work hard play hard and had a bad diet. i changed my diet up but still needed surgerys cuz i was past the point of no return. first they did colonoscopy which was the most painfull part but my colon was fine just roids. so they banded the two biggest and had to go back to haven do a pph stapple surgery and then they saw more so they did a slight hemroidectomy at the same time but couldnt gettm all. so i went back this past tuesday after months of waiting and they did a hemroidectomy and got the last two. for all u pussys that say its the worst pain in the world u need to man up cuz it wasnt that bad. id do it all over again if i had to. its so worth it. im sore and swollen but nothin to complain about.im not even takin pain meds just softeners.i read horrible posts on here that scared me to death so if i can put anyones mind at ease its totally worth the mild discomfort rather than suffering living with roids. if u gota get it done. dont be scared. just do it. youll thank yourself for doin it. its only been three days since surgery so im a little swollen and sore but thats expectted from any surgery..everyones diff but from my expierience it was worth it. i just feel that its my resposnibility to put some of your minds to ease if u r scared about the proceedure. ive had bandings pph and hemroidectomy. worst part was the waitin and not knowin. so get it done if u need it. your mind and body will thank u. and youll get back to regular lafe shortly after. im still recovering but i already feel better mentally and everyday i see improvment physically. god bless
