Reply to "Flexible sigmoidoscopy / pouchoscopy"

I just had one last week using what my doctor called a "Endoscope." (see pic below) The exam didn't require any sedation either and lasted for about 10 minutes. At first I thought it was going to be very uncomfortable, but he only stuck the thing maybe an inch or 2 up me, or not nearly as far as they do when they give you a Colonoscopy. My only problem with the exam is when they shot some air up me and my stomach felt bloated but it returned to normal in less than a minute. In my case I could have got by too by drinking almost anything, clear liquids only weren't needed. Thus I'd rate this exam much easier than a Colonoscopy.
