Colonoscopy with an Indiana Pouch

Post by Nemo1975 »

Hello, I had an Indiana Pouch put in about two years ago, everything has been going pretty much okay. I now need to have a Colonoscopy done. Does the Indiana Pouch complicate that any? I guess the colon is shorter. The doctor performing it is aware of my pouch.

Anyone have a colonoscopy with an Indiana Pouch. I guess I am just nervous about them "poking around in there" when everything seems to be working well again!
