Hi there, Just an update, i had my colonoscopy yesterday and everything came back clear thankfully.  Turns out my fit test was 385! so hopefully that lessens peoples worries who have had a high enough score.

Have to say my experience was very positive in that i was anxious and upset when i went in but the nurse spent time with me and calmed me down.  My blood pressure was too high but managed to bring this down (i suffer with white coat syndrome).  I also was going for sedation but changed my mind and just had gas and air due to wanting to drive my kids to shcool and be at work.  Yes, i was worried for the hour or so i was waiting but can honestly say it was very manageable in my experience.  The consultant and nurses were so amazing, calmed me down and reassured me.  I cannot thank them enough and i am obviously so relieved and feel very lucky.  The consultant put it well and said if there is something to worry about you are in the right place.  I hope everyone has a positive outcome and for those that don't you are in my prayers.
