Hi everyone,I've had my illestomy for two years and was diagnosed with a suspected partial blockage or 'kink' in small bowel. I've been sick for awhile, and they thought at first colitis but bloods are perfect. Passing of large amounts of fluid stool, and some blood, cramps, pressure, pain etc etc. All the fun of it. 😀

Tomorrow I go in for a scope through the ilestomy. I've had a lot of major surgeries in the past, though a lill worried about this. Has anyone experienced this procedure? 

Thanking you for any tips 😀

Hi Aussie my ilieo. was scoped before i had resection surgery a few years ago and was sedated for it as the doc wanted to look both ends to see if i also had stomach ulcers, its no biggy i had to fast the day before and only drink clear liquids.
