Halo or rafaelo I'm not sure what is best

OK so here's my story
I am a 39 year old that has suffered from hemoroids since I was 15 years old I had banding done twice which never worked for me. Lately they have got so bad they bleed when trying to push them up I mean spit blood everywhere I think I have 4 internal prolapsed hems one in the middle which is bad very swallen around the outside of the actual hems as I took a picture after my bowel the other day as I am so worried about it at the min.
OK I am die to go for banding in 18th of this month but have decided enough is enough and will go private to hopefully get rid of these for good
So my question is has anyone had the Halo procedure done is successful has anyone had grade 3 hems as bad as mine and had either the Halo Done or rafaelo as this is a new procedure so not much about it at the min any help would be much appreciated as I can't live like this anymore it's so disabling and embarrassing I put off going anywhere or doing anything incase i need a bm as I need to have toilet paper and prep h wipes and a shower so I can push them back up.

i had halo done recovery was extremely painful and really heavy bleeding which put me back in hospital and 8 months later they were back worse than before. i havent tried rafaelo yet but i have read recoveries on here which sound similar to what i went through with halo. but if i was going to do anything surgical again it would be rafaelo i would try

Thanks so much for your reply I think I'm going to go for halo as the other one does not do much and in the long run causes more issues. Halo and rar if done right can cure you from this horrid illness I am due for a consultant screening on 20th of this month hopefully he says I can go ahead and have it done think when you go private you really get looked after unlike the NHS where your just a number

I had Halo done a month ago ,I was recovering or so I thought but now I have this problem where I feel as if I need a bm all day even when I've been. Sometimes I only pass a small amount and it's mainly mucus. I've been to the docs and he says I need more fibre.Now I have this feeling as if something is pushing in my back passage it's quite uncomfortable so hoping it passes.
