In many cases, there is nothing you will need to do ahead of your procedure. Your gastroenterologist will likely discuss any prescriptions and/or supplements you use, so keep a list atop of your mind. Following your hemorrhoid banding procedure, it’s important to have a trusted friend or family member available to help with daily tasks to reduce the risk of putting strain on your GI system. Additionally, it’s vital to follow any pre- or post-op guidelines given to you by your Adult Gastroenterology Associates team.
