Hi guys so I'm going for a sigmoidoscopy next week to check out my rectal stump to see if I can have a reversal. I've had 2 before but when I had my colon does it feel any different now it's just the stump? I found it uncomfortable and painful after it last time :-/

I’ve only been on this site a little bit, I hardly know how to navigate it, LOL! I just want to say that everyone seems so kind and supportive to each of the members and it’s not only helpful, it makes me happy that there really are so many nice people in this world that can sometimes feel so bleak and cold. I didn’t even know about this site until I found it by accident. I think the hospital staff should bring it to their patients’ attention. Thanks to all, even if you’re just listening!

In theory it should be a really quick scope this time if there is only the rectal stump to have a look at so it shouldnt be very uncomfortable at all. They wont be feeding loads of wires inside like the previous ones to check out your colon. It sounds like you are in pretty much the same position that i was in before my pouch reversal last year so if you have any questions then get in touch and il try and help you out atleast as far as i know from my own past experiences
