Irrigation after colonoscopy question

Post by lisa3171 »

I am a new gator (4 months) & everything is going great! I do have to irrigate every day. I have a colonoscopy scheduled next month (my second since having an ostomy due to colorectal cancer, but my first since irrigating). My question is: Do I just start back on my normal irrigating schedule the day after my procedure?

Thanks!

You bet. You can start back as soon as you feel like it. That's the nice thing about irrigation...you can do it pretty much anytime you want.
