← Return to Redundant / Tortuous Colon Colonoscopy Prep Problems

I am 70 yrs old and just found und out I have a redundant colon after my latest colonoscopy! Prep for colonoscopy has always been terrible for me, and this time was the worst. It took from 9pm until 6:30 am the next morning using Sutab. Needless to say, I was up all night and had bleeding lesions halfway through from all the clean-up. Spent most of the night in tears. Then during the colonoscopy (I was put to sleep) I had an acid reflux event which I aspirated. When I got home I was coughing up a ton and vomiting. My primary care doc did a chest xray and put me on a Z pack a few days later (coughing up gunk), and still coughing up a bit 3 weeks later. Thankfully my colonoscopy only showed some diverticulosis and this tortuous colon thing. Has anyone else had any of this trouble?

Did you have a redundant colon on earlier colonoscopies? I had one reasonably that had to be stopped due to redundancy. We’re they able to finish the colonoscopy L
