I have had an abdominal hysterectomy and then colonoscopy for pain and bowel changes. The worst bit was the bowel prep my latest colonoscopy was a ct scan with an injection that makes you feel as if you have peed yourself, My gap said most are done that way now. The result was two ovarian cysts that took 4 1/2 hours to remove due to extensive adhesions from previous surgery. 
l hope yours goes well 

take care

may I ask if the CT scan you had also entailed insertion of a small tube in your Rectum to insert air/co2 to inflate your colon I think they call it a Virtual Colonoscopy/Ct scan .... I am just wondering as I am pondering whether to opt for this myself as like others had previous hysterectomy and also had to abort  the colonoscopy:)! I would be extremely interested to find out your experience and others of that particular Virtual Scan ! 
For information I have had the other CT scan and honestly there was absolutely painless just a little weird feeling down below but that's all so if anyone is having that I would not worry at all!

Hi I did have a small tube in my rectum, no pain just uncomfortable probably due to the extensive adhesions, l have had a C section as well as hysterectomy,   I would prefer a colonoscopy this way if l needed anything else. 
My doctor said that locally most colonoscopies are now CT scans. I have previously had the normal scan and they have had trouble getting around the upper bowel. I would prefer a ct scan. 

I appreciate your kind consideration and understanding:)! 

I do hope it all goes well this time the prep is not easy. 
take care
