I'm getting mine done in a week from today, I'm really nervous!!!!!! How was it overall, pain wise?

[dig8]

They usually put you out. So there's no pain. Maybe some mild discomfort after the procedure. Good luck.

I hope you are feeling much better now!!

I have my scope done today in about 4 hours. I am getting kinda of nervous and really didn't want to do it, but this video has convinced me that it MUST be done. I have Celiac disease and I just had a test come back + for cancer cells. Have you had to change your diet in any way? Thank you for being so courageous and posting this!!

[dig8]

Hope the scope went well. Once it's under control with the meds, I don't really watch my diet. Thankfully, I have a relatively mild case.

@yinstube Thanks a lot! yeah they told me to gve myself an enema too, about the food they didnt say too much, only recomended to drink gatorade and a lot of water.

I have bad luck with one thing though, the nurse is actually my ex-girlfriend´s mom :(

@Leojk87

Hi, you should have received written instructions from your doctor/the nurse about preparations. In my case, I think I was asked to stop eating solid food 24 hours before the procedure. Only transparent liquid was allowed up until the mid-night before the day of the procedure. After midnight, even water is not allowed. And also I was asked to give myself an enema before going to the hospital.

@yinstube Thanks!! I am lucky my sigmoidoscopy got postpone for next week, wednesday.

Hey before the procedure will i have to take a diet? Or i can eat anything i want?

@Leojk87

Hello, I did not get totally naked. I wore a robe that covered the front part of the body (so your penis would not be exposed). But the back of the robe was open since they need to insert tubes into the rectum. So privacy was well respected. Good luck with your procedure!

[Leojk87]

@yinstube Tomorrow im going to recieve a sigmoidoscopy! help me out here, did you get totally naked? or privacy is respected? (by privacy i mean penis lol).
