how are you doing now?

@hannahsmedicaldiaries1927 I will be having this procedure in few weeks, I heard it is a 60 cm tube, will the pain be bearable, some say they felt a mild discomfort not much pain but there are also people who say it was very painful.

I wonder what i have because i have jad chronic cramps, diarrhea for over a year and a half. Gastro console is set for August 23rd.

Hi.. your video is 2 yr old.. i was just wondering what stoma bags you are using now.. im trying to find a stoma bag & id be grateful if you would tell me what bags you are using & if you recommend it.. ty

This video was so helpful! Im off tomorrow for a Flexi Sigmoidoscopy! aswell as a gastroscopy. I've left it to last minute to see what they'll be doing because I'm a very big worrier and didn't fancy having weeks and weeks of overthinking and worry - your video has really helped to put my mind to rest by a million percent. .Ive gone from thinking the worse to thinking - Meh its no where near as bad as i thought. Thank you for sharing your journey. I hope everything is going well for you. All the best Tiny

Thank you very much for sharing that. I’m experiencing similar issues. No drugs are working for me. I am terrified of surgery. Listening to you made me feel I’m not alone. So thank you ❤. I hope you are enjoying good health

I use a silicone collapsible cat bowl when changing my stoma.. it collapses flat so perfect for putting in your stoma bag when travelling

Little late to the party but I had a blockage and got a stoma and decided because of the whole variable thing to just keep it and know there should be no accidents other than pouch leaks. I talked to the doctor before deciding and was told the same thing about problems that might happen so as I said I am keeping it.

Bless you, been there up the behind and down the throat.❤🎉

Hi hun, what we're your symptoms before your UC diagnosis? X

Hi.. Thanks for your video. Did this procedure cause even more inflammation and bleeding than you already had ? My doctor recently put in a referral for me to have a colonoscopy which I really don`t want to do because of the risks and possible complications involved. I would consider a sigmoidoscopy though since it is not as risky as the colonoscopy.

I had to have one of these done today and it was the worst pain I have ever experienced, I actually passed out and woke up drenched in sweat and was extremely nauseous. After I got home I looked it up online and apparently some people do suffer to this extreme with some women claiming the pain was worse than child birth. I think it's safe to safe I won't be having another one unless they knock me out completely. I should also add that I am not new to pain because I have diseased bones in my spine which causes pain on a daily basis.

The grooves on ModaVi are for uneven skin and /or if you have dips around stoma, ModaVi are great bags .. Mio break my skin down

Hope you are ok xx I've had ulcerative colitis since I was 16. I'm 36 now and currently experiencing another flare up. The last Colonoscopy I had I swear he didn't sedate me, he was so rude. if anything he made it very clear that ( it was the end of the day) that he wanted to go home. I screamed in pain as you can imagine. All he had to say was.... you need to keep still or I cant do this.... the blood that came out was mental.

Hey can I ask why you didn't need an enema?? X they always insist I have one

My bag keeps ballooning. I stopped drinking sodas for the most part. I drink lots of water throughout the day. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you for sharing this, my wife is going through this now. ❤️

I am in the same boat.

I got the same procedure done when I developed UC back in March 2016. Well I first had the colonoscopy which officially diagnosed me. And then this one done the following month. I have since had my colon removed because I never truly felt better (I am now!) Only thing is that I still have to take a few meds and have to get a sigmoidoscopy done every now and then. I can say that I’ve made the best of it though. Before I get the tube inserted, I have my doctor check my prostate as cancer has run in my family. Kill two birds with one stone I guess. Sure it’s uncomfortable having both done but it’s worth it

Hope you're doing okay! Been there done that. Had my J pouch 20 years.

Thank you for sharing ❤️
