RE: IRATE AND UPSET!/ &

[Guest guest]

Needless to say this has been pretty much a sleepless night for me! I have to be

there in two hours for the LLC, which is where they look in just the lower

part of the colon. I dont know if they sedate or not but I called Dale at work

about an hour ago and told him what my mom had told me and told him if they dont

sedate me they are NOT going to do it! Ever since I had my first BMB I cannot

tolerate any type of pain, and it immediately sends up red flags for me if they

say " oh its just a little bit uncomfortable " !!! Yeah right! That is what they

said right before both BMB's I have had and they were the most excruciating pain

I have ever endured. Anyway thanks for the response cross your fingers for me!

Hugs,

Katy

Hi Katy,

Not sure what the " LLC " is, but as someone who has had multiple

colonoscopies, there is NO WAY I would have any without full sedation! I

had a gastroscopy and they sedated me for that also. I can remember years

ago when my mum used to have them and all they used to give was Buscopan

(antispasmodic) which was inhumane IMO, but luckily by the time I started

having them, they had switched to full sedation.

I put BMA's into the same category - luckily only ever had to have 1 and my

haem/t was happy to go with what I wanted.

I hope all goes well for you.

Oh man do I need some answers and fast. In about 7 hours I am

scheduled for a " LLC " of the lower colon and about an hour ago my mom

informed me they did not sedate you for this procedure! Well they

better or they wont!! I can't see why they would send me to a same day

surgery place if they werent going to sedate me?!? Has anyone ever had

one? Did they sedate you? I had my Endo today and after three years

the Xanthoma's are back in my stomach!! I had had them since I was 16

and about three years ago I was scheduled for my anual endo. to make

sure they hadnt changed any, I called my pastors wife and she prayed

for me. The next day for the first time since I was 16 there was not

ONE of them in my stomach. Today when my Gastro. went in he told me

they were back! But that is a completley other subject, I just want to

know if they sedate you for this procedure?? I am soo sore back there,

there is no way they are gonna touch it unless I am out!!! Anyone know

anything about this procedure??

Hugs,

Katy
