Reversal tests

I am having the first of two tests coming up to determine if i can have my colostomy reversed. The first one is Thursday and it is a colonoscopy through my stoma. Has any hade this? Any advice? I am nervous. Thanks!

this is actually easier then the "normal" way as far as I am concerned as normal the bad part is the day before prep. but if you have a stoma and the regular part they may have to do both to make sure all is well I am not sure either way the prep is the worst part get through that you will be ok

Sammy, you're going to be fine. Of course, it's scarey. Trust your doctors and trust God and you will be okay. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Blessings,
Alan
