Get them done: I will assume you've tried sitz baths, stool softeners, witch hazel, preparation h, etc. See your primary care about some prescription treatment and consder a consult with a good colorectal surgeon if the discomfort persists. If surgery is needed and can't be done in the office, it's almost always done under light to moderate sedation rather than general anesthesia, and the risks are minimal.

Constipation: Many bypass patients don't drink enough liquids everyday and get constipated. Make sure you are drinking 64 ounces of liquid a day and you can also take MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) too.
