I recently had a colonoscopy. I was operated on for a hernia afterwards. Was this dangerous?

Lima Miraflores Peru area where is best to get a colonoscopy and what is the approximate price? Would they speak some English there?

How does this price compare to USA prices and also what would the price be in USA?

How do Peru medical prices compare to USA medical prices for similar procedures?

My surgeon today told me that he can take care of both the colonoscopy and the hernia surgery the same day one after the other? Is this a safe process to have both done at basically the same time?

Now everyone I talk to says I should have a gastro specialist to do the colonoscopy., I don’t know what to do., I am a nervous wreck and have been avoiding getting one done for years., I do not want to feel anything or know anything., I understand you must drink alot of stuff., I am scared.

Just out of curiosity, am I supposed to be drinking clear liquids until I am full so I don’t get hungry the day before a colonoscopy?

I have to have a EKG and Chest Xray done before I have a colonoscopy done. Does any one know why this would be? and what is it for?

My mom had a colonoscopy today, she gets one done every two years. The doctor took a sample and I was wondering. Is two years enough time for cancer to develop to a point where it cant be treated? or can the doctor just take samples to study them and not necesarily to find cancer? I am really concerned and sad.

I have read on here that it normally takes days for a bowel movement. But I went the morning after my colonoscopy.

I was just wondering if air is injected into the colon during a colonoscopy test to allow the scope to better maneuver through the colon. I believe I heard this is the case but am not sure. If you have had the procedure (and were awake), was it a lot of air to the point of abdominal bloating?
Do they inject the air prior to putting in the scope or does the scope itself inject air? If they do it beforehand, what do they use, a pump or something? Does your belly plump out a bit?

Nutrient enhanced and Propel that says antioxidants and vitamin enhanced? I have to drink 64 ounces in a prep kit for a colonoscopy and want to get the right thing. I can’t stand Gatorade and they said to use Propel or Powerade. Any help would be appreciated.

I am almost 10 weeks pregnant, and will be almost 12 weeks when my colonoscopy is scheduled. I am very very worried about the effects of these two drugs while I am carrying a child. The doctor said that I have a very minimal chance or harming my baby. I was thinking about doing it with out drugs at all, but every time I think about it, I cringe. Please only answer if you have a medical background, and have a good idea as to what you are talking about. Thank you.

I recently had a colonoscopy and there was a small benign polyp on my colon. They told me that I need to have a colonoscopy in three years. After that, I need to have a colonoscopy every three years. Why not 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years?

I have to have a colonoscopy in a week. My doctor said to purchase a bowel cleanser from my local drugstore. Can anyone recommend a good colon cleanser that will empty my bowels? What have you taken prior to having a colonoscopy?

I’m going in for first colonoscopy on Monday at 2pm. told to drink gatoerade and miralax mixed. when should I start this procedure? Noon time Sunday? Any other tips or info greatly appreciated.

I have a colonoscopy Monday. 3 days before the procedure I must stop eating nuts, seeds and any kinds of foods with a peel. Yesterday, Friday, I temporarily forgot about this and got a strawberry sundae, which had maybe 3 strawberries in it. I tried calling the doctors office, but it is closed. Does any know if this will mess up the procedure? Should I reschedule?

So my mother had a colonoscopy done and she forgot to ask her doctor about the cause of there being hemorrhoid’s in the last portion of the small intestine. The last portion is found to be the ileum, because it goes from duodenum, jejunum, to the ileum. Does anyone know the cause of there being hemorrhoid’s there? All help appreciated! Thanks!

I wasn’t paying attention to the color of the jello i was eating the day before my colonoscopy, when i bit into it i realized it was the wrong kind (red) and spit it up. I believe i swallowed a little piece of the jello, and im worried that i may throw my exam off…. Should i reschedule or will I be fine?

I need a colonoscopy but am uninsured. Colon cancer is prevalent in my family and I am long overdue for this test.

I can pay cash. Does any medical facility offer free, low cost or discounts for cash for colonoscopy?

Appreciate your input. Shar

I’ve had some problems with my stomach for a few years now and think that I might have celiac disease. I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago and my intestines looked fined, so does that mean I don’t have celiac disease or would celiac disease not show up in a colonoscopy?

I am getting a colonoscopy tomorrow morning and since I am on a liquid diet all day today, I am VERY hungry! How soon after the procedure can I eat and can I eat anything? I have been craving a burger!

I have a colonoscopy tomorrow. Do I take the laxitive anytime the day before or after dinner?
My doctor didn’t say when.

My father is 83, and very fragile, with extreme mobility issues. His doctor suggested a colonoscopy simply because he’s never had one and he’s "over 50". The prep alone will be hell for him, as he’s diabetic, and the trips to the bathroom will put him at extreme risk for falling, as he can barely walk now. Is this really necessary? He has no symptoms or gastric problems.

I just had a colonoscopy done the other day and the gas from my abdamon is really getting to me, is there something i can get from the drug store for relief?
