Hey guys,
Hope everyone is well and had a lovely Christmas and new year
I was hoping you guys would be able to give me some advice.
I had a colonoscopy under GA a few hours ago. When i woke up, the nurse said to me 'have you ever had a Seton before?' i was like what? Wth is that? She looked at her colleague then me again and asked if i had signed a consent form and i said yeah for a colonoscopy, but i don't know what a Seton is.
The surgeon then came down to talk me through it, but obv i was just out from GA so i didn't take in what he was saying. I remember him saying something about having 5 fistulas, being like a watering can, and that he had stitches up 2 of them. He also said only my small bowel looked ok, the rest was a mess and had infliximab (sp) written all over it, but he had to make sure it could get nhs funding first.
Im going to phone tomorrow and get his secretary to get him to send me something saying what exactly he found, next steps etc. I didn't even ask any questions like how long does it stay in, what is it actually doing, how long will it be sore, can i still have sex etc.
Im so confused and sore and feeling sorry for myself lol
