Colonoscopy Experience with Stoma and Rear-End Simultaneously

Does anyone have experience with a colonoscopy in a stoma and rear-end at the same time?

Oh my - talk about overkill.

All the colonoscopies I have had done since my surgery, the doctor enters through the stoma.

I have had a colonoscopy through the stoma and rectum. I had Etonox (gas and air) during the procedure; it was no big deal.

They typically do them one after the other, not two cameras at once. You also may have the option of anesthesia or not, depending on what your doctor needs to do. I go with no anesthesia if I can, so I don't lose an entire day of my life.

Go in one end and come out the other, kind of a 2-for-1 deal.

Just more concerned about the prep. And very worried about getting to the hospital without a mess.

Yes, I did. That's how they found out I was a mess from Hirschsprung disease. They thought it wasn't all removed when I was 22 months old, and I had a double barrel till I was five. Then, 40 years later, to test, I still have it throughout my whole intestine. Glad to see they are still practicing to be doctors, and we get to teach them.

Bad enough dealing with pancaking and pasty stool. I am totally grossed out at the thought of dealing with the prep. How did you all deal with the prep? I envision sitting on the toilet for a straight 48 hours.

No, you drink the concoction. You wait a while. Your stomach starts gurgling. Then, it starts. Like a bad high school chemistry experiment gone wrong, you'll start to get output. It's not constant; mine came out like a cup at a time and mostly water. That'll continue until you're done. Then, back to normal. Really no big deal. Just plan on being by a bathroom after drinking stuff and until you go in.

Me han hecho varias colonoscopias a través del estoma, me durmieron y no notas nada. Cuando despiertas, estás feliz con los efectos de la anestesia; no duele nada.

I just had a colonoscopy this morning, and it was quite easy. General anesthesia, no discomfort. I wouldn't be concerned about the colonoscopy. The prep was the difficult part. They no longer use that giant bottle of laxative; it's a series of pills. But the output was large, sudden, and intense—and can be overwhelming. I had no gradual warning about the flow. Just make sure you have whatever supplies you're going to need handy, and you will be fine.
