Hi Doctor. It’s really kind of you to share your experience at the cost of being embarrassed as these details are not easy to share. And all this to put your patients or anyone who is going for the procedure at ease. Wish you could be my doctor. 😊
I'm getting banded in two days. This video was VERY comforting. I've learned SO MUCH from all of Dr. Chung's MANY valuable videos and will tell all the colorectal surgeons I meet to refer their patients to these presentations. I really wish all Drs. were as honest, human, and helpful. After staying basically healthy for 70 years, my experience of the US medical system is not very favorable. Dr. Chung gives me hope that it isn't all that way, and much of it sucks because of insurance companies and corporate mismanagement.
How was it?
I couldn't agree more!
You're such a cool doctor. Hearing someone's personal experience is so powerful, but it's even more so when that person also has the technical background of being a specialist like you. Thanks for stepping outside your comfort zone to help us!
:)
What a hoot! I love your explanations that no one talks about. Being honest. Thats what I want in a doctor.
You really humanize the whole process.
Why aren't there more doctors like you? Wish I had a doctor this cool. Just found this channel today. Great info
Thanks and welcome!
This was beyond helpful.
I had the procedure done yesterday. .. Without this video and your story I had no idea what I was walking into.
I appreciate you.
This was so helpful!!!!! I had an awful experience with one banding. I didn’t trust that I really needed it but doctor said a series of 3 were required… I went for one and the pressure was really bad for me. I had bleeding right away and the doctor got so frustrated with me calling for support he said to go see a general surgeon if I felt something was going on. I was very scared as it bled from the get go. I canceled the other 2 apts and found a new doctor. You are the best. 👏🏼👏🏼
Great recap. Same experience with me almost to the tee. That feeling the following day of gas uncertainty is unnerving. My brother had the same procedure and told me he had the gas experience too. Unfortunately for him, when he felt it….he gambled and lost. Change of underwear and he was good to go. 👍
I love the way you shared your own experience with this procedure. You answered many of the questions we want to ask, but most are too embarrassed to ask. Sorry you had to go through this, but experience makes you a better doctor, especially your own. Your patients appreciate it!
Your patients are lucky they have you. Respect.
What a great testament to your relationship with your wife! I'm glad your experience was so edifying and successful. It can be difficult to see treatment from the patient's perspective, no matter how good you are at treating their condition. Glad you were able to gain some insight and alleviate your suffering. Good thing you knew a great doctor!
Thank you so much! I just had mine banded yesterday. Your story is informed and is helping my anxiety .
How are you doing? I hope you have improved!
You are the best doctor I have seen. Great information and open dialog. The US needs more physicians like you, it's not all about pharma and invasive procedures right off the bat.
I went in today for a routine checkup and came out with a rubber band ligation. Your experience is on point with what I’m dealing with at the moment. Thanks for your transparency.
Hey, I’m looking to get one done soon. Could you please share how you’re doing now? Was it effective and was it worth it? Thank you!!
@@erwin2588
Hi I have same problem that I am living with for long time now I am in the pain and I have to do something
I was wondering if you have it done and if you did ,did it help
You're my angel for my hems, Dr. Albert Chung. Thank you so much for sharing info like this, for your expertise. God bless you, Doc!🙏🏼😇❤️
Thank you Mio! I wish you well.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist Yes Doc. Thank you.☺️
I need to have my hemorrhoids banded but I'm too scared. Don't do well with pain. Having paranoia😰
Wow, you don't know how helpful your demeanor and detailed explanation is! You're the best! Now I won't be as hesitant to go to my first proctologist appointment. I hope they're like you.
You have such a great personality! I don't know why some doctors are so unkind, but it really affects the quality of care. You should teach! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with such detail with banding. I think it's time for me to see my doctor and get some help with my bottom end🤣
Thank you so much for your report on what happened and how you felt! It is SO HELPFUL to have a proctologist who treats these things actually share his OWN EXPERIENCE of hemorrhoid banding so publicly! I think sharing your personal experience so honestly, as you have done, is “pre-banding-treatment therapy “ and in that way, almost as valuable as the procedure itself.
Thank you, your information was helpful. I have had 3 operations in 20 years and more recent banding and the 3rd operation, which had a 2 week recovery, which was painful. I just want to not be concerned about this issue of hemorrhoids anymore and want them gone. After all of this, I now have a small hemorrhoid that is not painful but still concerning at times. I am trying to deal with all of this, but I really don't want to make this the center of my life. Your talking about your experience makes me feel more normal, thank you for that. Your smile helps too.
@rose are you okay now?
I wish you were my doctor. I would feel so much better and confident with the whole process. God bless
Wow. It was incredible to hear about your experience as a patient. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have had banding done 3 times. Each time I had an uncontrollable urge to strain and incredible abdominal cramping. So painful that the thought of doing it again is abhorrent. Unfortunately I now have grade 3 or 4 so probably need to find out about other treatments.
Please keep your information real. It is so appreciated!
Thank you for being transparent about your situation. It may seem n embarrassing but we are all human and it’s something a lot of us go through. And your bravery helps so many others and give guidance and confidence. SO THANK YOU
How’s your recovery going
I am glad this procedure came out of your own mouth Dr…because I have to get it done myself and was reading horror stories and I was debating getting it done! You’re funny!!
Hi doctor,I’ve hemerroids stage 4 bleeding waiting for treatment in 🇬🇧.Your a great doctor and I understand how you are and speak about it,thank you sir ❤
How are you ?what treatment was?
Hello,
I had my banding done yesterday for 3 hemorrhoids! So far I’ve been on Motrin and Tylenol back to back. The pain is pretty intense for me. I gave birth to 4 kids and I feel like this banding is a lot worse for me pain wise. I really hope the pain lesson tomorrow. Your video made me laugh so much so that wasn’t good for my butt too 😅😅 but I greatly appreciate this so much!! ❤
Jenny, how are you doing?
How are you now ? 🤕
Had done 3 days ago and very uncomfortable 😣
@@lauriavila5770 how are you doing now?
My doctor only did one today and then will be doing two in four weeks ! Definitely very uncomfortable but I had a bowl movement right away and I’m not sure if that was ok or not but I hope so lol as far as discomfort I feel it in my left leg and my back side but I’m assuming that’s part of the procedure considering I was ok before hand ! If anyone has any comments or advice I would love some thank you
I did this yesterday and everything he is saying is 💯 percent accurate....crazy
How did your procedure go?
I've had procedure 2 times--both done during colonoscopy.
I don't remember the procedure because I was asleep, and
the only "inconvenience" is your butt feels a little tight and irritated
as it shrinks. One time I felt the rubber band pop off when the hemorroid
was gone, the other time I wasn't aware. No blood, Pain level 1or 2 of 10.
So nice to have it finally taken care of ! ! Hygiene much better now. No need
to place tissue between butt cheeks to absorb hemorroid blood or anal leakage.
This doctor may be giving TMI, but he's being honest. U don't need to worry about
all this.
How do you feel now? Better than before?
Super sharing, Dr. I am sure patients very much appreciate your firsthand report since it allows them to “connect” with you and your experience. Hope your condition stays in good order going forward.
Doctor with real experience
You docs who take the time to make TH-cam videos are wonderful. Thank you so much.
You're a wonderful person. Thank you for your honesty and all your great information.
You are too funny! Thank you for making this simply part of our lived experience. I underwent banding after many years of bouts with hemorrhoids that started when I was 29 years old. Three were banded. My discomfort level was at about 7 - probably due to me attending an important long meeting that evening and having three treatments done simultaneously. One band popped off the next morning. However, the other two remained intact until the hemorrhoids fell off. I want to say kudos to the surgeon. I have not had any problems in four years since the procedure.
Was it painful
@@b-41subject57 Hi. Actually, the procedure was not painful. There was discomfort when the bands were being placed - a nice hearty pinch. The discomfort increased throughout the night and into the next morning. After that there was decreasing discomfort until, within about 7 days, I felt nothing. It is now close to 5 years, and there are no signs of hemorrhoids. I am so grateful to the surgeon and to the healing process. I also make certain that I eat properly.
This one was really funny and very brave. I love your frankness, honesty, vulnerability and humor.
when i had this done, they told me there is no down time you won't have any pain at all. "you have no nerves there" they said and 'you can go right back to work immediately." the instant he put the band on, i felt the urge to have a bowel movement. the doctor told me, "no, it might just feel that way because there is something foreign in your rectum, but if you want to use the bathroom go ahead." i had massive diarrhea, cold sweats, and extremely sore hemorrhoids. walked slowly and painfully to my car. took me about 10 minutes to sit down. was extremely difficult to drive because i was basically hovering above the seat holding myself up with my elbows while driving a stick shift. went home, had diarrhea about 3 more times. tried sitz bath, tried creams, couldn't get comfortable sitting or laying down. was pacing around my apartment for hours. called the doctor's office back to say something is wrong and they informed me that the doctor had left and went on vacation and would be back in 2 weeks, "if its an emergency go to the emergency room." Spent all night between the toilet and the bath. Called out of work the next day. Ended up out of work for the entire week. After a few days it felt like there was broken glass lodged up there. Every time I sneezed or coughed or clenched my muscles it was horrifically painful. There was lots and lots of blood. I was exhausted from the pain. I was walking around at 1mph like an old man. Full recovery I would say was close to 2 weeks. I would put it in the top 3 pains I ever felt in my life, higher than kidney stones, by the way, and would never ever again in a million years ever consider a band again. And never recommend anyone else do it.
You are describing my experience right now.
I’ll have my first of 3 soon . Thanks for making this video! Love your personality and sense of humor ! 😊
THANK YOU FOR BEING THE KIND OF DOCTOR WE ALL HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR...LIVE LONG AND PROSPER AND STAY IN GOOD HEALTH
YOU AND ALL OF YOUR LOVED ONES ....WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY.
Such a treat listening to you dr Chung thank you so much for sharing your personal story! it really helps to understand what it can be like to experience banding 💐
Hey good to hear about ur experience and so glad it went well for you :) I had 3 done at the same time and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. It is funny how we look at drs like they don’t experience what we do with certain things but you guys are human just like us lol. Take care.
@jessicawalker1870 I’m with you, it’s been the very worst physical pain I’ve ever had. And I have bulging discs , 2 C-sections, one natural birth, multiple ear surgeries, gallbladder … hemorrhoidectomy wins the award for the most miserable, painful horrific thing I’ve ever had to go through. Thank God I’m finally starting to heal and feel better. I’m adding here for anyone that is recovering from this, it wasn’t until a month later that I actually woke up and felt normal and back to myself. I was so happy, I looked on the calendar and it was one month to the day that I had surgery. So I went shopping with my mom for the first time since surgery and I started bleeding down there again. But no pain thank God. I think I just overdid it a little. But all is well and kegal exercises are important too ti build your pelvic floor strength back.
Hemorrhoidectomy is very different from rubber band procedure. My doc told
me avoid hemorroidechtomy surgery if at all possible because of the . Rubber banding was OK.
Thank you so much for being the best doctor and sharing these conditions. I had 2 banded and ended up pretty sick AND with a fissure with sentinelle tag, currently healing week 2, and had has horrible pain … you make such a diffemce and help us co-sufferes out here. Wish you were my doctor🙏🏼
Thanks to you and this episode, I am not on the fence anymore about having this procedure! I'll schedule banding this week. You ticked all of the boxes of questions!! Every single concern...even the fart issue. Haha.
How'd it go?
The procedure went very well! Two hemorrhoids were successfully banded. The first one was a bit of a shock, sound wise, but I was prepared for that with the second one. I'm completely better!
@@ejenkins8263 sound wise?
The mechanical power that administers the band is very sudden & rather loud.
@@ejenkins8263 ohhh ok, got it! I'm glad it has helped you & I hope hems never bother you again :)
I could not sleep last night as i was having my 1st session of band ligation in the morning. Reason being, watched to many videos on TH-cam and read the comments. I was horrified by what people had shared in the comments. Then i landed on this video and channel. Your video calmed me a lot. my experience, the procedure was painful for may be 5 seconds. But pain was bearable, had experienced much worse pains. Your finger hitting the bed is worse than this and lasts longer. 9 hours since the procedure. It is nothing as compared to the pain of fissure. 2 clusters done with 2 bands. Hoping for 3rd to be done in 4-6 weeks. Bloated. Little bit bleeding with silent farts but no problem as i was bleeding for the past week. If your doctor recommends the procedure, go for it. Fingers crossed for days ahead.
Day 2. Had my first BM. Blood, Yes. pain, no. So far things are good. Fingers crossed
@@rizwanmadni9246how r u now Rizwan?
@@rizwanmadni9246 did u see a gastroenterologist or colon rectal surgeon for the banding? How u doing now
Thank you for telling your story. It means a lot. Just started speaking with my doctor today about the possibilities, including banding. I need to find out more about the healing process and the chances for recurrence. Thanks again!
I read a study, surgery I believe is about 80 some odd % no reoccurance where banding was a little over 50% no reoccurance. My doctor told me recovery from surgery can be 4 to 6 weeks and he said it's very painful initially, plus you have to take sitz baths 4 times a day. Now that's my doctor different doctors may tell you differently.
I think for a CRS to be able to explain their experience makes it much better for the patient- rather than saying "oh it dosn't hurt." You describe this PERFECTLY- I've found the viceral pain / spasm is VERY uncomfortable. Last time I had it done- they gave me Tramadol- and it worked wonders.
I'll be getting banded mid October and just the wait is making me so nervous at times where I just want to call it off but watching Dr. Chungs videos really do help to calm me down. I really just want to get rid of my hemorrhoid especially when I'll be taking an Interational trip in November. For sure I will not last the 14hr plane ride with hemorrhoid because the pressure from sitting just gets to me. so I'm really hoping to get this done and over with before my trip. Fingers cross, I have the same experience as Dr. Chung.
Doctor thank you, I've been so embarrassed about my hemorrhoid I won't even let my wife know I have it been dealing with it for several years now. I've tried literally everything you can think of to help and nothing has helped. Well everything minus going to see a medical professional about it. But now I will. I'm hoping to get this healed so I don't have to spend the next 5yrs in excruciating pain. To where I want to cry and I start sweating. And hopefully I won't have to sit on a heating pad anymore. I have 3 heating pads. 1 in my bedroom and 1 for each car.
just following up with you. Are you having any issues or now completely free of hemorrhoids
@@adelabuidris6292 thanks for asking. They have finally gone away after 4 yrs. Apparently I had 2 hemorrhoids and 2 small fissures. Using suppositories and a lot of witch hazel and a heating pad and getting a badet, it all worked an everything healed. Even my fissures completely closed. Thank you. It was a terrible experience.
Poor thing. I hear you on that heating pad.
Thanks Dr Chung! Just had this done.👍 Your video really helped me prepare and what to expect.👍
Thank you for sharing your experience. I only wish I had seen it before my procedure, which was yesterday. I had no idea what to expect, and for me it was very painful. I think had I known more about the procedure, as you explained it, it may have gone more smoothly. You explained so much of what I felt. Thank you again
Dr. Chung, I just honestly want to thank you for your personal story. It takes a lot to share this information to the world but I really appreciate your videos and just the way you are. I'm 6 days post op from my hemorrhoidectomy and so many questions but no one to get answers from. You have answered a few but Thank you so much for helping me although I'm not one of your patients. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thank you so much! I wish you the best in your recovery!
Having hemorrhoids and taking Plavix, blood thinner, what are my options? Bleeding is bad when it bleeds. 0:47
I went through the same experience today and when I watched your channel it gave some comfort. Thanks for sharing .
I wish you were my Doctor your videos have put my mind to ease thank you for sharing your expertise
Thank you for your vulnerability. I'm laying here watching this just a few hours after I had 2 bands put on/in my rear. You said a max of 3 on the pain scale, however mine is like a 6 or 7. So, either I'm being a big baby or something is not right... I took the prescribed pain medicine an hour ago, but the pain is still about the same. That said, your video was comforting to watch. I'll keep laying here and try to be a little tougher. Thanks again, Doc!!
How you doing now?
I'm on day 3 and in so much pain. How'd it turn out for you?
Apparently from everywhere I read, it uncommon to experience pain above 4, on a scale from 1-10, but as I stated, it was no joke a 8 or 9 unless I had pain meds, which only brought it to a 5 or 6. I back to normal now, but until after 8-10 days of being miserable....
Thankyou for sharing your experience, and for being real.
I love the fact that your wife did your Tx! The ultimate test of trust! 😂
Coming to this late but just wanted to add my thanks for sharing your experience. Just had a banding done this morning (first ever), nice to know what to possibly expect. So far, just feels a little sore with a bit of pressure...definitely an annoying sensation though.
How did your procedure go?
@@monique7003 It was fine. There was a little bit of bleeding at times for a few days but then it stopped. Discomfort gradually diminished over several days as well. I'm going back in about a week and a half for follow-up and probably another banding.

Thank you so much. My banding appointment is in 3 weeks!
Oh man, you are the best!
Your candid testimony and humor is much appreciated.
Had my banding procedure done, and that 3 on the pain scale is constant and annoying. Very beneficial already on week 2 for me.
I suffered for almost 3 years with heavy bleeding on and off.
Thanks to you I had the courage to find a doc and get this handled.
Thanks so much for what you are doing.

Is it all good now for you? I did my second banding two days ago?
@@fataihammed7632 just following up with you. Are you having any issues or now completely free of hemorrhoids
Thank you for sharing this. Just had banding done from postpartum hemorrhoids and I experienced all of this but a little more pain maybe a 4-5/10. And it really was like 15 min after for about an hour was the most uncomfortable/painful. But I took some advil and it was more manageable. Thanks for sharing this experience!
So realistic and I am laughing with you and love your humanness.
Thank you so many for your story....I've been on the toilet for about 10 hours trying to relax enough to have a bowel movement. It's day 4 and I still haven't had a bowel movement. Starting to get nervous. I can't wait for relief.
How you doing now after your procedure?
Do an enema it should help
Please take stool softeners like miralax. It’s been helping me tremendously from holding poop in which causes even more pain. And might make it worse and the way out.
Thank you SO much for sharing your story, it means so much!!
Dr Chung you are amazingly down to earth. You explain things so easily for anyone to understand. I to had grade 2 and went through exactly what you were saying. I was laughing with you 😂. I’ve had to have banding twice due to a lot of dripping blood. I was so scared to have this procedure. I’ve been bleeding off and on for approximately 20 years. I’m glad I got it done. I’m praying that it is finished.

God Bless you and your family!! Peggy
My partner has had to hear me complain about my ‘Hemmies’ for almost 20 yrs .. I would love to find a doctor like you
Thank you Doctor for your vulnerability. It's really helpful 👍
Glad it helped.
Well, I went in for banding surgery today. This video made a HUGE difference for me. The procedure went fast; 13 minutes for two bands. It was over before I knew it. When I woke up, I laughed in surprise at how quick it was. I'm now at a pain level of 2-3 instead of the 7, 8, 9, and occasionally level 10 pain I endured for the last 4.5 months. Feels like it will heal fairly quickly. Whew. I only wish it hadn't taken so long for the insurance company to OK the surgery. Waiting for months is not recommended. Get it done sooner and suffer less.
Do you need to put to sleep for this surgery?
Thanks, this gives me a little reassurance, I was just told today I might need this.
Excellent video!!!
I wish you were closer to Menifee, CA
Makes me very comfortable about having the procedure done.
Love your honesty and the way you talk with humour 😊
Pretty spot on assessment. On day 3 right now. Day 1 felt like I needed to have a constant bowel movement which is kind of weird cause you know you don't have to go. Peeing has been different too, hard to get started and once it stops, it stops. I guess that nerve is freaked out a little, like I was told it might be.
hi!! i can surely relate about a week ago and until now it really hurts especially when going to 🚽 it’s a struggle!!!
Hi Doctor Chung, I did not know how important you are until I had my Endoscopy and banding done. I am not sure how you get into this field. But this is a problem that bothers me every single morning for the last 40 years. My doctor just never stopped trying to get me to have it done. I feel grateful that my doctor did this for me. 24 hours after the procedure. Still feeling it. Afraid to poop. Only had congee and all liquid food. I just hope that this will be over tomorrow or the day after. I am still afraid to go. It always pops up for the last 40 years.
after about 36 hours on amocilin\clav my symtpms have subsided about 50%, all the hell i've went thought specialist and 4 months of waiting, spent almost 1000 on prescription creams missed time off work for a simple diagnosis, thank you dr, really lucky i seen you're video
WooHOOOOO!!! Congratulations! I'm glad our video consultation helped you. Congrats on getting your life back!

This was really informative. Thanks a ton for sharing! All the small details matter and now I have an idea of what to expect every little step of the way.
Thanks for all your support Dr.
This was awesome. You made me feel better about getting mine done
Thank you for sharing. I’m the day after banding and you sharing has helped me a lot
YOU are a God send
thank u greatly for all this dedication to HELPING people!!! ❤
You're very welcome!
I had this procedure yesterday morning. This video and others responses aboit this is helpful.
I may have to get it done again because it hurt so she only did one. She left the 2nd as is for now.
I have fibromyalgia, plus other issues related to that.
If one can ask if it is sensitive, answer is always yes. I feel so much more than people who do not have chronic pain. Im just used to pain 24\7\365... The pain as of day 2 is less and still more or less annoying than painful.
Doctor said i could back out... I did not.
You're great. Live to tell. Good details. Lots of compassion and empathy and education and assurance. Best thoughtful illustrations unlike other cocky doctors just sit there blah blah blah telling u you can resume back to work right away which is not true.
You’re awesome Doc thank you!
This was an awesome video. Now if only men could really experience pms or labor, especially back labor. The full explanation of what you felt, and your body's response to the sensations will surely help some people.
I just had mine done yesterday. LOL. You seem to be a tiny bit dramatic but pretty close. I had a colonoscopy seven days prior and they set up the banding for the next week. First day I was afraid to walk. Today I forgot I had it done. As soon as I remembered, I started walking carefully and rested most of the day. I am afraid of having a bowel movement. The gas thing is exactly right as we are afraid to even relax the area. Truly, so far, it has been fine. My very young doctor worked so fast I didn't have time to focus in on any area. I think 3 or 4 were done. Going back two more times only because I was bleeding so bad and had to have a colonoscopy for fear of cancer. I am so grateful it is just hemorrhoids. Thank you for sharing with us.
I gather it was a gastroenterologist that used the o Regan system ?
I had this done yesterday. Two grade 2 hemorrhoids. I really got no instructions from the staff as to what to expect. I was just told it takes only a few minutes and I could drive right back to work after. I’ve been through quite a few surgeries in my day and I can tolerate pain pretty well.
I have to say the experience was unpleasant and definitely more painful than I was expecting. The Dr. Said I handled it very well but I feel like more of a heads up would have been nice.
I notice now, a day and a half later that at random times I’ll suddenly get a lot of pressure and a fullness feeling in there. It feels as though I have to go to the bathroom but I understand I really don’t have to go. The most pain/uncomfortable feeling I get is laying down in bed. Both nights ai far I have woken up with some pain and have to stand a few minutes until it subsides and I lay back down to go back to sleep. I am hoping in another day or two the rhoids will fall off all together.
Thanks for the videos!
how did the banding work for you gsc76?
You really are the best doctor, just found your videos. Keep up the good work!
I just had four internal hemorrhoids banded … piece of cake … easy peasy 👍🏻
That what I want to hear...piece of cake...easy peasy.
Thank you Doctor. You are a gentleman
You’re a Champ Mate!!
You are making me feel better. I dread going to get it done.
Awesome testimony!! Hopefully if I need to choose this option it won’t hurt much!
When your a doctor you get better care! Had a branding done by my PC P and I dont know what he did but the Gastro man said I had a fissure? Bus Driver for 30yrs lift weights not any more they fired me because I wouldn't take the Clot Shot. Best Wishes.
Thank you so much for explaining the procedure. I had the surgery many many years ago. I wish they did banding back then.
I developed a polypp after my last banding which had to be removed… I’ve had two rounds of banding, three bands each time… not fun. It is better now than it was, but I don’t wish ‘roids on anyone.
Can you explain, two rounds of bandings , three bands each time ? Did they put 3 bands on it at once ? Why? Im asking bc my dr tried to band mine and it fell off in less then 11 hours.
Hi Richard, can you explain the reason they gave you for developing a polyp
? I’m having my second banding soon first one failed it was a disaster I will be under GA getting it done
