CRH O'Reagan System procedure VS rubber band ligation

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi guys,

So I just heard about this CRH O'Reagan system, which is apparently similar to the traditional rubber band ligation. However, the O'Reagan is allegedly faster, non-invasive and has a higher success rate.

Has anyone heard or had this procedure done? please help.

Thank you.

    Daniel, I replied in another one of your threads. CRH O'Reagan system is the way to go! It literally took what felt like a minute. I was so anxious prior to my first (I had it done 4 times), that I took a Xanax. I'm positive it worked on my smaller hems, but the problem is that it doesn't work on the larger prolapsed hems, or rather, it may not. In any case, try this first as it's less invasive and the recovery time isn't anything to worry about. I always went to work the next day. I'm very regular, have 2 BM's every morning, and the first time the following morning I was afraid thinking I would cause damage. As they say, the band falls off, although I never looked to see if/when it did. Would highly recommend this system.
