Hemorroids?
So I have to take Promethasizene due to a queazy stomach (my pouch hates me right now). I have to take it in the form of a suppositoryy (fun I know). Anyways I was taking my dose and noticed a lump inside my rectum, it was a bit painful to the touch. I have never had a hemorroid before so I am a bit worried. Has this happened to anyone before? and are hemorroids common after WLS? Thanks guys.
Actually, hemorroids are fairly common among the Obese
And are often relieved by WLS Weight-loss.
"...painful to touch." is a pretty good description,
So Hemorroid sounds like the cause.
As always- Give the doc a call.

In addition to everything Dx has said, if you have hemorrhoids but don't know it yet, post-WLS constipation and straining to "give birth" will introduce them to you, or maybe even cause more of them!
Preventing constipation is much less horrible than experiencing it. Each time i forget to get enough water or forget to take fiber, Colace and/or MiraLax, I'm sorry a day or so later. No, "sorry" isn't the right word; I want to die!
Some folks never seem to have problems down there, but most RNYers seem to have be careful to prevent constipation.

OK, have I got a story for you! I had an abscessed tooth back around the 21st of June. Had to have the sucker cut out. Well, the oral surgeon put me on an antibiotic that absolutely tore my stomach up like nothing I have had before. I had severe diarreah for about 2 weeks. Next thing I know, I have a hemorroid the size of a cherry tomato hanging out my azz! Talk about PAINFULLLLL!!! 
On a Wednesday at about 11:00 am, I couldn't stand it anymore - it was absolutely killin' me no matter if I was sitting or standing. It had gotten even bigger and felt like a hot ice pick stuck in my azz!! So, I call my PCP's office, explain the problem, and they work me in. I go in at 2:30 pm and they get me in to see the Doc at 3:50. Doc comes in, says to drop em and let him check the problem. Next thing I hear is
"Uh oh!" When you are leaning over an exam table with your drawers down around your ankles and the Doc says "Uh Oh!", you know that ain't good!
He tells me I have a thrombosal hemorroid, or something to that effect. He said it was caused by the diarreah . Then he explains that it has developed a blood clot and has to come out - NOW!!
Well, my grandson was at Space Camp and I had to pick him up no later than 4:30. Sooooo - the Doc has me strip down, lie on my left side, andcover myself with a sheet. He leaves for a couple of minutes, then returns with a hypodermic that looks like it is for a horse, a scapel, and a can of spray.
In comes the nurse, she raises the sheet back to expose my azz, and then spreads my azz cheeks as wide as she can. Doc sprays this ice cold stuff right on the old cherry tomato, then proceeds to give me a shot right in it!!! WOWSERRRRRR!! THAT HURT LIKE HELL!! 
2 minutes later, he is cutting the blood clot out!! Needless to say, my hand print is still probably in his nurse's right arm! After removing the blood clot, he shows it to me and said it would never have gotten better and would have continued to swell. He then dressed it and asked if I would be able to drive or if they needed to call someone to come and get me. I told him I had to pick my grandson up in about 15 minutes, so I would be OK.
He gave me a prescription for pain medicine and a cream to apply 3-4 times a day, and told me to purchase a bottle of Witch Hazel. I had to keep the Witch Hazel in the refrigerator to keep it cold. I had to sit in a tub of ho****er for 10 minutes 3-4 times a day for the next 7 days, then apply a gauze pad soaked in cold Witch Hazel for 5 minutes each time after I got out of the tub. then I had to apply the cream he prescribed. Took about 10 days for my azz to completely heal, but it finally did and every thing is OK now.
Needless to say, this ordeal was literally a huge PAIN IN THE AZZ!!
Thank God, all my troubles are BEHIND ME NOW!!!
OK - so I'll be the BUTT of a few jokes - but I sacrifice my dignity to assist and support my fellow WLS members here.
