Hi All
I posted several months ago about my bowel symptoms, but thought I would post about having a colonoscopy.
My GP referred me to a colorectal specialist in Feb and last week performed a colonoscopy.
I was petrified but it was fine.
The prep involved a limited diet 2 days before, they the day before drinking citramag (2 glasses 4 hours apart). I was then on the toilet on and off for 4 hours but got a good nights sleep.
Went into hospital at 11am, taken to theatre at 11.30. Dr asked if I wanted to be sedated, I said yes. Given sedative at about 11.45, next thing its 12.45 and I am in recovery. On way home at 2pm.
Results are in 4 weeks. Tummy was tender and windy for 24 hours.
Hope that helps if you are waiting for one........
Don't put it off or dread it!

Same with gastroscopy. We are basically happily unaware of the whole thing, and quite surprised when we wake up and it's all done, lol! Well worth getting done too!
