Re: Colonoscopy on 12th How many biopsies?

May 29, 2006

Shefy,

I just had a colonoscopy about 2 weeks ago, and I was nervous, but it wasn't

worth being nervous about. They gave me a sedative that put me out, and I

woke up fine, was driven home by my son, and so relaxed that I had a nice

nap when I got home. Most will tell you the preparation is the part they

don't like the most, but if you've ever prepared for a GB flush, it's really

similar.

What is the reason you are having all these biopsy's done? Usually they

just look for polyps, and if they find any, remove them. I had one decent

sized polyp removed, benign, and haven't had any bleeding since (went to the

doctor because of bleeding).

By the way, haven't posted here in a while, I'm still doing fine since my GB

removal in February.

Hope all are having a nice Memorial Day/weekend. It's HOT here :-)
