Hey everyone
Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the site, please feel free to move it if it is.
After being diagnosed 3.5 years ago with CD, I have met my new surgeon who wants to do all investigatory work again. (I have only ever had a sigmoidoscopy and barium meal, because I freaked out so much when they attempted full colonoscopy). My new surgeon is doing one under general anaesthetic for me
Anyway, I received a letter in yesterday asking me to call appointment line to schedule this. I called and whoever said 'ooh no if you're having it under general anaesthetic you have to book direct with surgeon's secretary' so I've called her and left a message.
Everything seems to be moving really fast!
I'm really just looking for some advice on bowel prep - when I had my sigmoidoscopy I had an enema as I was already in hospital so I didnt do the full drink thing before.
What can I do to make it easier? I understand from reading here this is the worst part of a colonoscopy!
Thanks guys
