colonoscopy needed

[16thnervousbreakdown]

Is it common to be hospitalized overnite prior to colonoscopy? with MS?

Never have in 28 years? Last time was just a box 📦 they sent out and was sent back afterwards 😆😝👍🏼

I've had them with no hospital stay.

I don't think it is common but there could be some other reason than just the fact you have MS that they are recommending that. Not sure if you need some kind of extensive prep they want done at the hospital.

I was thinking the same thing. Not common, but maybe you need a bit more than a regular colonoscopy? Is the procedure a colonoscopy only or will they be doing something else? If so, this could be the reason. Another thought, do you need more physical help because of MS? They may be offering you more assistance by an overnight hospital stay. Hope it all goes well for you!

Hi 16thnervousbreakdown love the name!! Although mine would have a lot more numbers on it!🤣😂

And I was hospitalized, actually? I was already in the hospital, they knocked me out to do the colon and endoscopy at the same time. I think 🤔 sry it's a blur..

Good luck!! 🤗💕🌠

i'm in limboland, but i went in after the lovely 🤢clear out, got knocked out and woke up craving chips. lol, i'm not sure why you'd stay over night. maybe they have some concerns they need to discuss with you?
