You made me laugh so thanks for that! I totally agree! About 6 years ago my Dr found polyps so I went to colonoscopies every other year. None found this time! Yeah! Back to every 5 years! I read about banding hemorrhoids online. Definitely a pain in the ass! How successful did your Dr say that procedure is? My gastroenterologist didn’t seem to think mine are serious right now, or at least he didn’t say anything except ‘see you in 5 years’. I know I’ve had them a long time. How about you?
