re: Anyone here had Hemorrhoid Surgery?

Not sure from your post what exact surgery is recommended. If the H's are external, then he has to get cut. But if they're internal roids, then he may qualify for the "banding" procedure (google it).

I had this and it is not bad. The rubber band stays inside you and cuts off circulation to the roid. It dies and comes off in about 1-3 weeks. The first day they band there is some soreness, like a bad bruise up inside your anus, but no "razor" blade type pain. Soaking in a hot tub provides great relief. After a few days the soreness goes away and you don't even know when the thing falls off and you pass it out. Have him ask his doc if this is an option.
