Hi, I had my LIS back in August for an anal fissure. I had two hemmorhoid banding procedures and a PPH procedure prior to that. Now the rectal bleeding has returned. I'm really frustrated and dissappointed. I've felt pretty good since the LIS and hadn't had any problems with pain, bleeding, or bowel movements until this past week. I changed my diet to include 35-42 grams of fiber each day, 2-3 liters of water, no sodas, no fast food, no junk food, no alcohol, lots of fruit and veggies, and I've dropped over 40lbs. About a week ago I strained a muscle in my back at work so I'm wondering if that had anything to do with this recurrance since it started right around the same time. I know my surgeon is going to send me to a specialist when I call him tomorrow, but I really don't want to have to endure yet another surgery or the medical bills that I'll no doubt be incurring. I was planning to drop my insurance this year just so I could get caught up from all these other medical bills and now it's looking like I'm going to have even more of them. Not sure what to do.
