Iris’ pouchoscopy
January 29, 2012Our friend Iris recently had her two year follow-up after her J-pouch surgery, and had her second pouchoscopy. For those of you who are unfamiliar, a pouchoscopy is basically like a colonoscopy, but for those of us who have J-pouches instead of colons, it takes almost no time at all since the J-pouch is rather small.
Iris had no issues this time around, so that was great. She filmed the pouchoscopy as it was happening: for those of you who are more interested in the biological part of medicine, you’ll enjoy the middle of this video. Be forewarned: there is some graphic material! She didn’t have to do any prep before the pouchoscopy, so her pouch has some stool in it.

Thanks for sharing. I thought everyone had to be sedated for that procedure. I was for sedated for the 5 that I had. But I was also dialated.
Iris is right: after all I’ve dealt with having UC, nothing in her vid bothered me. I’m glad her ‘scope went well.
