Colonoscopy prep

Hi 

I am  having a colonoscopy tomorrow afternoon and have been given Moviprep . I took the first jug between 7pm and 9pm this evening and nothing has happened . I feel very bloated but no sign of any dash to the loo . I have terrible noises coming from my stomach but that is it . 
Would anyone know of this is normal 
many thanks for any replies

  • I get you about the wee-ing from the wrong place . 
     

    Im at the hospital now waiting to be taken  in for my colonoscopy and endoscopy . 
    Im so nervous about the camera down my throat as I'm claustrophobic and suffer with severe gag reflex . They said I have to swallow the camera before they can Sedate me so I'm petrified . 
    im not so worried about the colonoscopy

  • Ask for sedation .  I was put out when I had my endoscopy and sedated for the colonoscopy.  I'm exactly the same.  The bottom end is far easier than the top end.  I watched them on the screen with the bottom end.  It's interesting to see inside.

  • Thanks again for the info , colonoscopy was ok , it was interesting to watch but they had to squish my stomach hard to get some good pictures as they found I have a redundant colon . The doctor was shocked m how long my colon was but thankfully no cancer . 
    The camera down my throat was a different t story , I gagged and retched but they did t give me sedation until I panicked and started to pull the tube from my throat . They told me they would sedate me . 
    Because I was panicking they put some liquid into my cannula , I woke up as the doctor said " there's a lot going on down there " 

    He took biopsies , I had polyps and a red patch . 
    now to wait for the results . 4/6 weeks !!!! 
    very worried 

  • Hello there, I'm glad you got on ok.  They squished my stomach too but I think that's cos I'm a tad chunky lol.  I had a tiny polyp removed but of no consequence.  I wouldn't worry too much about the top bit.  It may well have been sore after all the gagging and pulling you did.  I would take the stance what will be will be as you can't change it.  At least you've had it done.
