Had colonoscopy yesterday!

I'm especially replying to those that wanted to know 

About colonoscopy through stoma.

The PREP is still the WORST part of the

Procedure.  No problems going through the

Stoma...didn't feel anything.  I guess no feelings 

In the stoma.

I  would HATE to do it again...but only because 

I can't stand drinking all that ???? GO LIGHTLY.🤮

ALSO found reason for my past problems 

From hernia.  So I'm careful how I  eat...slow

Small meals. Etc.

I hope those having this Procedure done 

Will breeze through. 

Best to all and thank you for your response. 

Hey Asiam, glad to hear it went well. Told you it was easy peasey! You are absolutely right - the prep is disgusting, no matter what flavour. 🤢🤮 Hope you treated yourself to your favourite meal when you were finished.  What did you find out about the cause of your hernia?

Hello Asiam. 

 hank you fro updating us and enlighting us on the colonoscopy procedure. I haven't had it done yet myself, so I was looking forward to hearing how it went for you. On this site  we keep learning from others with more experience.

Best wishes

Pleased to hear it went without any problems.

I have a scope through my stoma every 12 months luckily I have an ileostomy so I don't have to suffer drinking any yucky bowel prep 

I may have to have surgery on the hernia

but my Doctor said;

Try to do some things to keep things working...

Like smaller meals, slower eating, also to lay down

If problems start that flattens  the hernia 

So I'm hoping I will be able to handle things going

Forward with the new information. 

Sure hope I can avoid surgery.  

Take care, Asiam

Thanks for the update! Glad things went well for you. So were you awake during the procedure or did you get some happy juice? I woke up during mine before my Ostomy. Have sush a high resistance to any drug but that was unexpected and very unpleasant!

Thanks for your message.

Hi,

I did get the happy juice and i was awake watched

The whole thing.. but no pain.  I'm told stoma has

No feeling so hopefully you will have a good experience. 

Unlike a normal colonoscopy which is uncomfortable 

If awake.

Thanks for your message.

Glad it is over and was no big deal. The prep is horrible as always! Lol I will not dread it as I used to. But then there is something so degrading about having it done through the rectum! Might even be Interesting to watch!

thanks for the feedback!

Hernias are very common with colostomy according to

Doctors and ostomy nurses.  Because of the surgery new position of Intestine it's susceptible to Hernias.

Do be careful.  I don't know what I did to cause it

Just gradually became an issue.  I do tend to lift

Things that maybe I shouldn't. 

Take care, thanks for your message.
