Hi all,
Went for colonoscopy/Balloon Dialation yesterday,prep was definately the worst part,very anxious when I got there,but staff excellent,Gastro said he would give me four viales of cocktails to sedate me,we'll they did not work,I did not shut up talking.Gastro asked if I felt drowsy I said no,I felt ready to party!!!!!!
Well he got to the Anastomosis at Neo terminal Ilieum with no probs at all,to be honest it was a breeze,but could not dialate as he said it was to tight.He pushed the area whilst scope inside and asked if here was any pain,I said no.
He then took the camera out and said all ok ,all large bowel appeared Normal,no biopsies taken,he said not needed.i asked about stricture which I was told is about 5cm,he said he thinks it is less than that,also he agreed that if it is not causing pain,leave alone,he said he will see me in clinic in six weeks.
I was there for around another 45mins had a cuppa and biscuits and then home.
Anyone having one of these,please don't worry,they are not that bad at all,in fact I would rather have one of these than go to the dentist !!!!!!
