I had the same op as you Rachael (Botox and banding) and it's fascinating to read your story here. I'm on day 5 with a chronic fissure at 7pm just like you had!! I can't tell if my bands have come off yet but my external hems are being put under a lot of pressure from internal hems being banded and the whole area is so tender. Ugh :( x
