The colonoscopy and gastroscopy.

You were all right, the prep was by far the worst of it. I had 3 sachets to drink and only managed 2 of them, but I was cleaned out.

I woke up for the bottom half, the nurse said I was swearing a lot! LOL Got my period on prep day so that made it a bit worse.

Everything seemed ok, but they did take 4 biopsy's. I didn't recall what they were for as I was pretty out of it, but should have results in a few weeks.

If you had bio's done, what do they test for?

thanks for all your advice gals!

Glad it is over for you! Here is some info on colon polyps:

Quote:

Why remove polyps if they are benign?

Colon polyps are important, since some may turn into colon cancer over time. While not every colon polyp turns to cancer, it is felt that almost every colon cancer begins as a small non-cancerous polyp. Fortunately, during colonoscopy. these polyps can be identified and removed or destroyed - thus preventing a possible colon cancer. If a polyp is large enough, tissue can be retrieved and sent for biopsy to determine the exact type of polyp.
