i would be really interested to hear how people got along after rubber band ligation.

i had 3 banded and am 8 weeks post banding.

it has not worked as bleeding has returned along with a bit of discomfort at the start of bm.

stool softener seems to help a bit.

reluctant to have further banding as was told may not work and surgery sounds horrendous.

don't know if to just put up with it in hope will get better?

symptoms eased almost a year post first baby but returned after second baby and this was when i opted for investigation and internal hems were found.

2nd baby is 6 months old so i am praying for symptoms to ease as did before.
