No, not really. If they have to remove any polyps, you may experience SOME bleeding, but not much. Abdominal pain, perhaps, but they'll give you something for that!! Hope this helps you!

The preparation is the worst part of the colonoscopy. The test is painless. If they find a poloyp they take care of it right then you might get some minor bleeding and slight pain but basically it's a snap. Don't worry. Jan Camara

I had my first post-op colonoscopy in Feb., but it was my 3rd in 8 years with this doc (my Dad died of some form of cancer in the abdominal region, so we're playing it safe). I just made sure she got a copy of my surgeon's surgery notes on my RNY & confirmed with her face-to-face right before sedation that she'd read them & was aware. All the best, Lauralyn PS Since this was my 2nd-in-a-row polyp-free procedure, I don't have to have another for 5 years, YAY!
