Just had the rubber band ligation yesterday for internal hemorrhoids. today after a bowel movement i saw blood and a slightly foul smell. is it normal?

Most likely: What you are describing is normal. Small rectal bleeding would be expected after a hemorrhoid procedure. Your doctor or surgeon should give you instructions on what to expect. Call their office ; ask for post procedure instructions ; expectations.
