Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 It was a colonoscopy. You know when you have lost a lot of weight and you have that done everything shifts as they try to move that instrument around. It got to the point where it was extremely painful and there doctor told them three times to up my sedative.The doctor said she had some problems going around some of the turns and first she had me turn kind of on my side and had the nurse and the other person there push on the loose flesh then I had to turn completely on my side. When that didn't work then she had me lay on my stomach and finally she was able to get around the last bend. I guess all I know is that in 10 years when she said I should have it repeated it will be too soon. I was happy to know that it was negative. The only thing was she was looking for signs of blood amongst other things to explain the anemia while she didn't find any at the time but since the exam I am now having that problem. If it continues I will have to call and let her know. I had cramping and some bleeding for three days after the exam and I still see traces of blood.
