Reply to "Is a sigmoidoscopy possible with J-Pouch?"

The only thing about CT Scans with me is that they don't like for me to have them anymore because over the years of suffering with UC I had too many. I'm glad that it worked easily for you and there was no damage done. My GI guy wants to do the flex sig, and I'm worried and scared because the first time I had one was without sedation, and I was in so much pain that I was screaming. Now, for anxiety and pain purposes, I request to be sedated and my doctor understands why and accommodates that as well as giving me some sort of panick medicine through the IV before anesthetic because I go into panick attacks every time despite knowing what to expect. Most people here are saying the flex sig is safe and won't do any damage, and my doctor says it's alright too. It helps knowing that there are those who have had it done and can even minutely appease my worries over all this. Being in the first two years after surgery, I'm still relearning how my body works and what I can and can't have done.
