Did Halo-RAR/THD surgery fail?

I would first like to share my surgery experience with you, because reading other forums scared me to death. I had HALO-RAR surgery last Wednesday. I have large grade 3 internal and external hemorrhoids. When I woke up from surgery all I felt was a desperate need to have a bowel movement. I was asked to urinate and I couldn't so they took the plug out and gave me a cup of tea. After a few more tries I was able to urinate. My external hemorrhoids were itching quite a lot, and I felt a lot of pressure still. That's the only discomfort I felt until the local anesthetic wore off and I could feel where some of the stitches. It was never particularly painful, I have had banding that was much more painful. If I had to I could have gone to work the next day. The most painful part was trying to defecate a couple days later. I had emptied myself out and ate a light diet so I wouldn't have much difficulty with that. It was painful, but tolerable, and has gradually improved.
My question is, although about half of the area is tucked inside and bruised looking, another half is still showing outside and is pink and swells up like it did before surgery after bowel movements. I think this surgery failed. Maybe that's why it hasn't been very painful for me.

I had the same procedure 6 weeks ago - recovery was quite easy and week two i could go for walks which i couldnt do before. But week three i feel its all gone back how it was pre surgery. i saw the surgeon at week four and he said healing still can continue. I asked if he could do it again as his plan b was a hemorroidectomy which I want to avoid at all costs. He is seeing me again at the end of the month to see what my options are. i feel gutted because week two showed me what life could be like
