So I have a colonoscopy scheduled for January 5th which I'm completely fine with. I've had no problems with it in the past but I'm very worried about this one. I had to sign a waiver the other day allowing them to do what she wants them to do. Apparently I am abnormally very small in my rectum and well yes that area. This embarasses me greatly and I didn't tell my parents or gf (whom I am extremely close with and we tell each other everything) for a few days after my GI said this is something she wants to take care of-thats how embarassed I am-. She said that she's having a guy doctor do it because she thinks I'll be more comfortable with that....i don't really care about that but going with somebody I have no idea who he is and will meet him just before this whole thing happens kind of worries me too. What I am really worried about though is that the whole reason for this colonoscopy is to dilate any regions where I am abnormally small. She said there is a risk of tears, and ripping and I probably will bleed after Apparently a largely affected area for me is that region and she says that if its dilated it will help with a lot of my symptoms because despite me being really really sick and having large amounts of diarrhea it will sometimes takes me a atleast 30-40 minutes to get it all out before I would even dare standing up and often have to come back to the toliet shortly. While I think this would be great I really don't know how comfortable I am with this and I'm really scared about it. Has anybody else had this done? also please don't sugarcoat it if you have how much pain were you in the next day and afterwards?
p.s. - I will be sedated and in LALA land throughout the whole thing. This is why the colonoscopy doesn't bother me and actually I think the worst part is drinking those damned laxatives the day before- god they taste like hell-but I'm really worried about the blowing me up like a goddamn balloon and feel very awkward about the whole thing.
oo: (just wanted to throw him in cause I think he is funny and haven't used him yet :tongue:
