Hi
I added this to begin with from my other thread but wanted to throw this out to the community.
Thanks to who responded so far.
I had my colonoscopy yesterday and went well as it could. I was fairly positive beforehand and had no sedation or anything as part of my procedure. All I could think about was eating afterwards!
Anyway, it is my second one done and my first one was 10 years ago. I do remember being quite teary the next day after the colonoscopy 10 years ago and today I'm feeling the same.
I know it needed to be done and it's the best way for a surveillance but it's so invasive and personal i feel almost violated! Quite low and teary today again.
It's as if I'm post traumatic following the procedure and wondered if anyone else had the same experience?
