    Well done Charlotte! As a previous healthcare assistant i used to chaperone many patients when they recieved their colonoscopy or endoscopy procedures. I hope you hear back soon about your other scan 🤞. Bravo to you for this honest vlog, it will help many people 👍.

      Thank you! Yes I used to do the same and I never really appreciated how painful it is!

    Thank you for making this video. Really helpful. I'm waiting on my hysterectomy operation. Just a waiting game now. Did you wait long? From being told you needed a hysterectomy to going in for the operation?

      I only waited about 4 months but I was lucky to get a cancellation slot, also it depends on whether, like me you are having open surgery, in which case you may need a bowel surgeon present

    Oh my gosh, I remember the ‘loop the loop’ bit; not fun! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

      I’m glad that it wasn’t just me and that the loop to loop made sense 😂

    Well done you for making this Vlog. Hopefully the information in it will be useful for somebody else who has to have the procedure. Hopefully you won't need to wait too long for the test results x

    I am completely gobsmacked that you didn’t have a general anaesthetic. In Australia where I live that is how colonoscopy’s are done. You are so brave xx

      @booksandbargains  10 місяців тому +1

      Oh wow, I had no idea! In the UK you only get a general anaesthetic in very extreme circumstances!

      @@booksandbargains I had a colonoscopy today in UK and was offered entonox or sedation if I wanted it.
