Hi everyone - last colonoscopy I had a lot of, I think the medical term is, gunk up high so the doc couldn't do a thorough exam. So we re-booked and now they want me to do the normal day before clear liquids prep, no food after whatever time. They want me there 2 hours early to give me the GoLytely through the second hole in my loop ileo.
My concern is the ostomy nurse, who I am told is excellent, but she is new to me and had to ask how to prep for someone with my circumstances. Has anyone else had this? Is it common and the norm for someone with buildup? Also, I can't do self-enemas because of a hole inside near the end of my digestive tract. I really believe in my colonoscopy doc (who is the one to tell me of my stage 3 cancer and also tell me I WILL beat it, which WE did) and this nurse went so far out of her way to help me I feel silly doubting this.
Dehydration seems to be the #1 risk, but I will be under their care and prepped and monitored for it. I want to look forward to this, without having to drink that horror, but I have more questions than answers.
