Hello all. Ive been researching my colonoscopy....
Yesterday i had my second colonoscopy. The first one was roughly 5 years ago where the doctor banded 3 hemerroids.
Yesterday i also had 3 hems banded. My operation was at 3pm in the afternoon, and i was home after 5pm. Pain level good, alot of wind when i woke up which was to be expected.
At about 12 midnight i went to the toilet, no stools, had a wipe and found on the toilet paper a black band.
I am thinking two bands were done internally, and the third was done on the outside of the opening to my bowel as i was aware by self-examination that there was a hemerroid 'thingie' there.
So it had been roughly 8 hours from the operation until that band come off. I realise bands 'fall off' on their own accord when their purpose is done, but i was wondering if anyone else had experienced this so soon after the proceedure.
Thanks for reading!
