I am having a colonoscopy on Friday to prepare for reversal surgery!! Yea!!! I am wondering who has gone through a colonoscopy through the stoma and is it uncomfortable after? They are going to scope both ends..ugh...I had to have my stoma revised 2 weeks ago because it closed up (right before reversal). I am thankful to still be alive after a ruptured appendix which abscessed throughout my entire abdomen with sepsis. 7 months on the bag and I am ready for reversal after test results come back. I am not looking forward to colonoscopy prep and wondered what it's like with the bag? Am I literally going to be emptying it every 15 minutes the 24 hours before???
