how soon do u know after scope?

If they find something during the scopes do they tell you when you wake up?

IDK about other doctors, but my GI does my scopes, so he lets me know.

I'm in the UK and my consultant came to see me as soon as I woke up to tell me the results... I was a bit spaced out though!

I always know right away, why waste another trip. I assume some people don't have their Gi's actually do it and may have to have a report done.

My docs have always spoken to me or my hubby afterward....

Unless it's only something that can be diagnosed by biopsy results, they tend to have a fairly good idea as soon as they've finished.

My first colonoscopy was done on an emergency basis under GA at around 10pm at night so I didn't hear results after that one until the next day on the ward round! But all colonoscopies since then I've also been told immediately after the results. Fundamentally though any diagnosis unless the problem is glaringly obvious is confirmed with a series of biopsies. They take around 2 weeks to be looked at and reported on.

Hi, i am having my first one today and they have said that I need to have someone there with me as they will tell me after the scope what they have found and I may be a little groggy from the sedative. I am hoping to find out today! the letter also says if they take biopsies that you will get the results in 10-14 days.

Yep, had mine done yesterday, was away with the fairies and my partner wasnt allowed in to speak to doctor so guess will have to wait fortnight.

My doc came and talked to me after the procedure and gave me the pictures and notes, then someone from his office called a few days later with the biopsy results. But he also has me schedule a follow up appointment a week later too

A little of both for me. I have been told stuff right after and then additional info in the follow up visit.

HI had my scope yesteday the doctor talked to me during the scope although I was a bit out of it! He also came to see me afterwards and said that they had found inflamation and erytherma in the rectum and caecum which he took biopsies off. He also said there was inflamation and took biopsies from the ileo colonic? and I am to see my consultant in two weeks time? any idea what this means? I slept most of yesterday and am a bit sore today, but have already had a bowel movement D with some blood in it?

Don't you hate that? They come in when you're still out of it, partly drugged-up, and give you the results. Most of the time it's like is this a dream? Is he really standing therrr.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I wish they would wait til you wake up or right it down or something LOL

I don't know about colonoscopys as I am having my first on Tuesday. My endoscopy was stupid because I didn't get the results until three weeks after. In the mail mind you and as it turns out, they were abnormal.
Yeah, I need a new gastroenterologist.
