Post Colonoscopy Question
Posted , 4 users are following.
Just got home from my colonoscopy. As with other people's experiences the doctor comes in to discuss results when I am half asleep, but she did tell me there was still stool matter in my colon and that she removed polyp or two and I may need to repeat in as little as 6 months depending on the lab results. The part I can't figure out is was the mention of the stool remnants irrelevant to the possibility of doing the procedure again so soon? I believe what she said was "we may need to repeat as soon as 6 months but definitely no later than 3 years, depending on the lab results". I was still evacuating brown color even in the hospital before the procedure, so obviously I failed with the MoviPrep. Should they have delayed the procedure? Can't the doctor clean me out while in there?

I had cramps and gas entire day and next morning .
c scope is not a one day affair there's prep day
scope. Day and recovery day .
The latter is minor discomfort of trapped wind mild cramps in gut
I can only assume the equivalent of bruising from being dialated by gas and pushed n shoved about .
I've made a complaint about how colonoscopy is explained to patients
and been told a change in leaflet etc is going to happen
I was asked to take part in these changes and did so .
main concerns were ,
pain , sedation .
it hurts and sedation is given to all patients anxious or not .
I had to refuse sedation and pk four maybe six times and was
only told about pain when I showed knowledge of pethidine and midazolam and why I would need it for something that only caused discomfort .
midazolan = amnesiac complient patient given to relieve stress and anxiety ,
Pethidine a drug similar to morphine used for moderate severe pain
given to reduce any possible discomfort .
nobody tells you what the sedative is or what it does this isn't vallium guys .
