Reply to "Pouchoscopy"

Gina, what a story!  You really have been through the ringer.  Pouchoscopy is a necessary evil.  My son just had one 2 weeks ago at Weill Cornell.  There is no prep!  You don't have a large bowel. So there is nothing to prep for.  The only thing Jeff had to do was not eat 8 hours before.  That was it.  His GI did the scope.  Before that, the surgeon had done them.   But he is new to all this as well.  The secretary or nurse just gave you the general instructions.  I would call them and double check, but my son has had 6 of them in the last 10 months and never was there a prep involved. As far as biopsies , Jeff had biopsies taken two weeks ago.  I'm not sure about all the other pouchscopies Because he has only had his pouch less than a year and currently he is diverted.  And he was always given light sedation, just like when you have a colonoscopy.   Good luck, you will be okay!
