Day after my colonoscopy
Posted , 6 users are following.
hello loverlie ladies,
here i am i survived the prep even though it was a bit hard it wasnt awful. I was very anxious about it and it didnt help that i had ages to wait till my turn came. I had lovely nurses, no problem getting canula in and dr popped in a mild dose of sedative, off i went to sleep and woke up later. The Dr banded 4 hemerhoids i did ask that he only do one he said truly the discomfort of one will be the same as four, today i just feel full and bit of pressure like i need to visit toilet. No polyps found, but i do have reflux mmm another menopause symptom? Or caused by anxiety? Im so relieved today, so if anyone needs this test done dont be afraid of it. It could save your life as its a screening test.
all the best girls, MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!🍾

i was expecting the prep to taste reaaly bad, it was picoprep, maybe some are worse than others. Im glad i didnt have to drink much more of it that last glass was an effort!

Well done! I had my bowel checked 4 years ago 😁
Was worried sick but it's so easy and nothing to worry at all. Do it ladies!

Hello lynda,
im glad my post is relevant to you, try not to worry. The worst thing is the waiting, this is when we do the worrying. The procedure is not at a
ll uncomfortable when you have sedation, this is a common test but its an important one. It will be over in a flash, i think the dentist visits are worse. I hope all goes well for you!
Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄
