Has anyone had multiple polyps removed during a colonoscopy? I'm 50 and I just had my first one, and I was expecting maybe 1 or 2 polyps at the most, just from hearing other's experience. I had 7 removed, sizing from 3 - 9 mm. Has anyone else had multiple polyps and all turned out to be nothing? I'm losing sleep and don't know how I can get through waiting for the results.
