Pain and hemorrhoid.

Hello

For reference I'm 450 lbs and working on losing it. I've had issues the past year with an annoying hemorrhoid. It hurts like a bitch when it flares up. I use over the counter things to manage it. (it's internal) But it's lasting longer this time. The GI I saw stated last time he can't do anything until I'm down to at least 400 or lower. I know it's a safety reason but has anyone else experienced either hemorrhoids or a problem with being denied care cause of size? He did say even then he will need to see me in a hospital setting which I understand. However this weight loss is slow and unforgiving on me right now. Especially stalled when I'm in pain 🙃. I've upped my fiber too.

Guess I'm just looking to rant or see if anything has struggled with something similar and had different outcomes. I feel stuck with no options until maybe 6 months down the road. But as soon as I hit the goal I am scheduling whatever I need for this.
