Worried about a colonoscopy

by rmn, Jul 19, 2009 02:40PM
Has any one had  a colonoscopy through their colostomy?  Do they use the same process as a regular colonoscopy? The unknow is really getting to me.

they do..usually done in a GI lab under sedation..in fact a scope thru the stoma is often much easier and much less humiliating to the patiend///pm me if u ned to..good luck

yes i am having one also on dec 4, i hear they go in the stoma, i also have large hernia under my stoma, this is all just to much for me. i am just so depressed. so scared to have the reversal, but again can't wait. what i am afraid of is trying to find the right doctor.
