Hi guys! Morning!

Finally having my lap today after 13 years of being in pain and not taken seriously and waiting for a diagnosis! Been waiting almost a year for this surgery after diagnosis and hope this will be the first and last one- i know that sounds niave especially after the posts we see on here but ey gotta keep a positive mind! Keep me in ur prayers xxx

P.S this bowel prep is still making me run to the toilet and im worried im going to end up soiling myself on the table ahaha πŸ˜‚.. is it going to stop??!

So glad you're better than you thought you would be, it sounded like you have had a lot going on down there. Hope the recovery is swift x the flexible sigmoidoscopy was the worst pain I have ever experienced and wasn't expecting it at all! Was prepared for 'uncomfortable' as warned but not feeling like my insides were going to tear apart! I put up a thread on here to see if anybody else had experienced similar and they had, so not just me, phew! You take care and rest up xx

So glad to hear everything has worked out for you as 13 years is a long time to get a diagnosis and treatment. Your surgeon said the same thing to me, wonder if it's the same one!

Hope your recovery goes well. All the best.
