On my 5th Day Post Op. Better to live 2-3 weeks of Pain than hemorrhoids for life. Go for Surgery. It is tough but it is totally worth it. Change your lifestyle, change your food habits.

Thank you for these videos! I'm having surgery later this month and these have been so helpful.

Hi Ale! Thank you so much for all your honest hemorrhoidectomy videos. They have been so helpful, I love listening to someone who knows what I’m going through, are you gonna do a 2 year update? I had my surgery 14 days ago and I’m hopeful towards the future

Hi. I’m 4 days post op and I must say that it is a difficult time to experience. After watching your videos, I’m prepared for the journey ahead! For those scared of this procedure: Trust me you won’t feel a thing during the surgery. The challenge starts afterwards so brace for it !

Thanks.. This video is really helpful and informative 😊😊😊

Thank you! I went in on a Thursday he ordered surgery for the following Monday! 😱 I have 3 days to prepare and I was mentally prepared but then saw horror stories and started to reconsider! I saw your videos and I’m sooo thankful! When you said live your best life I was inspired again to go through with it! Thank you! Hopefully I’m as beautiful, bright and happy as you are 12mos from now! ☺️

Thanks so much for all your videos!!! How do u know u have ibs? Colonoscopy? Also we’re your hemorrhoids internal or external?

Thanks for update

Your videos are helpful thank you

I am about to have the surgery...I have been dealing with them for 20 years...but I am scared of the surgery but I know it will change my life so thank you for your videos.

I appreciate your videos about this topic so much! I like you, suffered from hemorrhoids from 2009 to 2021 and I finally had a hemorrhoidectomy on 6/28/21. I wasn’t healing correctly after that and had a very swollen area that looked and felt like an external hemorrhoid after my surgery and was in a lot of pain. I had a 2nd procedure on 9/22/21 and that swollen “skin tag” removed and I felt much better, bower like you I have a fissure from the removal of the hemorrhoid that hasn’t healed since the original procedure in June 😱 every BM I have had since June I bleed, and sometimes significantly, even though I have taken miralax everyday since June and my BM’s are soft. I also got the nitroglycerin ointment a few weeks ago and so far I don’t notice much of a difference. I have had follow ups with my surgeon every 4-6 weeks so far and they don’t know why I’m not healing yet. I just had a colonoscopy on 11/19/21 to see if there were other issues, but that came back normal. Im trying to stay positive, but I can’t do anything physical anymore without pain, or even slow walking. Hopefully I will heal and this will have been worth it, but I also hope that I can start walking again because hemorrhoids were preventing me from exercise before my surgery and now this surgical fissure is preventing me know….it’s a bummer!

I have one stage three ‘roid caused from pain meds after surgery 9 years ago. Honestly from watching these videos and others I have decided NOT to go the surgical route for relief. Sounds like half of the commenters are still in pain and discomfort months later with lots of side effects. I will continue to live with the occasional discomfort and make the dietary changes and use salt baths and ibuprofen to reduce pain. Frankly it sounds like they haven’t perfected this surgery and it’s frequently more trouble than it’s worth. Doctors are not demi-gods and it sounds like a lot of them are selling a procedure that leaves over a third of the people who get it with no relief and even more pain !! God bless everyone living with this problem and I hope you get healing.

Thankyou for the videos. What was the method of your surgery? Lazer, Band, or complete removal ? please share some insights about it? which is better method? how did you decide you should go for this one ? or is the the doc who decides this?

I'm 8 months out. Your videos helped me a lot. Hope you are well. Happy New Year! 1st bm was scariest metric after surgery. Just ate softeners and ate soft diet. Don't push at all. Hot baths. Imo , try to get past 4 or 5 days. Stenosis is real issue to watch too. If I get backed up, I can get some blood. Even after almost year later. Losing weight is huge. Also, don't discount cannabis instead of narcotics. Or ask for antianxiety meds if really tense. Good luck everyone.

I just had my procedure done yesterday. We kinda have the same story. I had mine for about 10 years as well. Internal and external. The external ones had become thrombosed in my case. Finally got them removed yesterday via laser method. The thrombosed ones are causing me pain now as it had to be cut, unlike the internal ones which were only shot with the laser to kill their roots. It was so bad for me that every time I pooped, I couldn't sit right after or the hemorrhoids would bleed. I would usually be on my all fours for 30min to 1 hour until the swelling reduced a bit. In some ways, having hemorrhoids also caused my blood pressure to rise. That fear of eating fiber is so true especially for people who have external hemorrhoids/thrombosis. My body actually had adjusted to only poo every 2 or 3 days per week as a result of that fear. I'm glad that I finally went for the surgery. I hope my road of recovery and everyone else's who's done it would be a smooth one.

Its the best feeling to have them removed .although painful few days after surgery

When can you do excercise after the operation? Also why didnt you try the HAL-RAR THD operation?

Hi! I just wanted to ask with yours. Do you remember right after the surgery when you got home, did you check your butt in the mirror? If you did, what did it look like? Did it look "smooth" like no skin tags anymore nor it looked like hemorrhoids? I wanted to ask bc I just had my surgery today, this morning, and when I got home I immediately checked mine, I thought it would looked "smooth" but it did not. Instead it looked like I still have external hemorrhoids. It looked swollen outside, It looked like a "flower" kinda looking. I know I had internal & external hemorrhoids. So, did yours looked like that? Or not? Please share. My doctor never came to visit me right after the surgery (which is weird🤔) so I wasn't able to ask questions, and I never thought about asking to the nurses as well bc I was still alil bit loopy, so I was def not myself. So hopefully the doctor or the nurses will call me tomorrow & explain everything.

I have my surgery last december 19, 2022 and I'm too scared to poops but we need that , it's almost one month now and still the same there is i a big bump down there and it keeps bulging whenever I poops. I don't know when this sufferring will end I'm so tired of this , I'm still hoping that the bumps in my anus is not another hemorroids when i get my ff on friday, hoping for the fast recovery to all of us who did this surgery 🙏🙏🙏

My surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday and I’m so terrified of long lasting pain. My hemorrhoids don’t cause much pain but I have one approximately the size of a golf ball that I’ve had for over three years (it showed up during pregnancy) and it won’t go away and just gets bigger. Once in a while they spasm or get uncomfortable but they don’t hurt all the time they’re just difficult to keep clean. I’m terrified that I may be trading discomfort for true long term pain. My doctor has definitely not prepared me for anything that you’ve mentioned in any of your videos. I’m so scared now I don’t know what to do.

Thanks for the gummy recommendation!

How did it look after? Normal?

After the surgery does your body try to pass a lot of gas? Because when My hemorrhoid flares up it feels I have to pass Gas so much and it become so so painful,my surgery is on couple days I am really freaking out ;(

I’m stuck between removing them or leaving them because of the nightmare post op!

Was skin tags a issue for you… After your surgery???

They fixed a fissure too?

sorry if tmi but what does the area look like now

Any reason that why you didn’t go for staples or PPH?

Was there a lot of leakage and bleeding?

So happy for you!🤍 I hope God sends me an Angel doctor 😭

After surgery i am suffering urine rentation

Hey, I found your videos a week before my surgery and went and bought everything you recommended. I just had my surgery this a.m and i’m laying in bed watching your videos for a little inspiration on my road to recovery. I was wondering about the fiber gummies and what point in your recovery did you start taking them. Thank you again for all your videos and helpful info. I will be using your advice to help me get through this. I have suffered too long from this and it was time to do this and heal myself. i just want to feel normal and healthy again.

Hi im 7 weeks PO i also have stool with blood

hello

After how many weeks you don't have pain after bowel movement? I have passed 7 weeks but still painful.

As you mentioned you too have IBS, do you developed post surgery? As we know with internal hemorrhoids we can’t have lots of red meat and spicy food, are you able to tolerate all kinds of foods now ? What’s are ++ of surgery, please guide

7 days out from this….POWDERED STOOL SOFTENER!!!!

Has anyone had to go through a second surgery? The dr said I didn’t heal properly and have maybe a fistula, and also another external hemorrhoid has popped up right under the one I had removed. :( I’m scared

How long didbit take you to sit again? Im on day 9 from having my externals and internals removed and its so uncomfortable to sit. Im also terrified to have any solid foods cause it makes it hurt so much when i go. 😫 thank you for your videos! 🌻

If you can just get through the first week of complete and absolute hell, and manage that first poop, it gets better from there. Week 1 and week 2 we’re like night and day for me, but it’s still sore and hurts to poop after almost a month now. The numbing fully wore off after about 12 hours and the surgery pain wore off around day 4, but then the pain meds made me severely constipated even though I had been living on ensure drinks and fruit juice for 5 days which did nothing but make me malnourished have less energy more loopy and I think the iron content in those ensures can constipate you. I was terrified to eat anything bc the thought of pooping was so awful but it made it worse in the long run, eat actual food just stick to fruits and oatmeal avocados light soup maybe eggs, etc. take the stool softener and fiber supplements but don’t use miralax it will make it worse. Get a portable bidet, and make sure someone is there to stay with you for about a week. That was my biggest mistake thinking I would be fine on my own, I lived between my bed and the bathtub for a full week, walking to get food or water was a huge painful task. The pain meds are so fucked up in that you absolutely need them for the first few days but they do the worst possible thing to you, so try to ration them if you can. Out of 30 hydrocodone pills I used 22.5 of them and I rationed as much as I could physically withstand bc the pain was so bad, and constipation and muscle spasms, I could only sleep a few hours at a time once the pain meds kicked in and so I was also exhausted and sleep deprived. I was completely out of it for an entire week and I almost had to go to the ER at 3am it gets worse at night. I spent entire days sitting in the bathtub, but I’ve actually made a decently quick recovery so far because of that. The warm water helps blood flow and healing to that area and it’s the only thing that calms the pain other than the meds, and it sort of helps you rest, plus it decreases the likelihood of skin tags so stick to the bath, it’s been almost a month and Ive just recently gone down to 1-2 baths a day. Assuming your hemorrhoids never come back, the end result is definitely worth it, but 110% be prepared for a world of shit, literally and figuratively. Idk if it’ll ever look completely normal again but the visible recovery process is a lot longer than the physical one so I’ve been told. It’s not horrible but it’s not normal looking. Some wouldn’t recommend you look right away but honestly if you do, you’ll be able to appreciate how much it heals over time, bc it does get gradually much better from that.

Has yours have any extra skin?
