goldicedance Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just wanted to post that I had my endoscopy and colonoscopy done today at Mayo Jacksonville. My pcp had no problem arranging for my admission to the hospital so that I could get IV fluids during the preparation for the colonoscopy and thereafter until my discharge the same afternoon. The GI doctor arranged for an anesthesiologist to be administering the anesthesia due to POTS plus my complete pacer dependency.For any of you with a colonoscopy on the horizon, you should talk to your pcp about your concerns about fluid loss due to the preparation.Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan617 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'm really glad it went so well for you missy! I'm beginning to think we should just see gastros! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofsara Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Glad you had a good experience with a not so fun procedure. I will definitely ask my daughters gastro about the admitting thing for IV fluids next time Sara has to have the colo-endo stuff done. Shes had 2 colo's done without the benefit of anesthesia(it didnt take effect) They will certainly have to rethink this if she has another one done. Anyway, I'm happy you had a top notch doc on your team........ Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
