I’m due to have a colonoscopy next Wednesday. I am SO anxious about the procedure and the possible outcome. I know this is not helping at all but cannot seem to calm down. I do have a small supply of Diazepam but have only used one at night to help me relax and sleep- another enduring problem. Any thought/advice?

Mine must have also been for a sigmoid......which only involved the part of the large bowel on my left side.
I'd had a post-op infection there.

Well having tea and biscuits in recovery. You were all right. Not as bad as I’d imagined. If I did experience any pain they told me to use the Entenox. The purging was horrid but worthwhile for the peace on mind. Thanks again everyone- you really made a difference.
