I asked my surgeon why he didnt treat mine while he was 'in there' and he said he didnt want to do too much at once, i wish he had though and hope he will do something about them this time i see him aswell as the fissure xxxxxxxxx
Hey Jackie, are your piles symptomatic at all? Just curious...
If mine were bugging the hell out of me I think I'd have the doctor band at least one of them for sure. But they haven't bothered me too much ever since I started adhering to a super high fiber diet and taking Miralax. The fissure is still there, ironically, but I'm thinking the hemmies got "caught in the crossfire". They used to bug the hell out of me (bleeding and extreme itchiness) for years and years and suddenly I barely notice them anymore. But I know they don't ever truly go away, they just lay low for a while.
I guess that's why I'm iffy about the banding. I'm pretty anxious about the colonoscopy and just don't want to have something else to deal with and worry about -- I want to walk out of there tomorrow knowing that I'm done with anything butt-related for at least a weekend. I'm thinking most likely I'll tell the doctor to make a game-time decision on whether to do the banding or not though -- if they look real bad, go ahead and band them, otherwise leave them be and let me enjoy a weekend of scotch and sports :)
