Hi Jim. I've had 2 pouchoscopies since my surgery in 2000. I basically starved for 2 days for a 5 minute procedure. I tell you, if only colonoscopies had been that easy. I haven't had any problems with my pouch, and so I'm not sure if that made it any less uncomfortable. Long story short. It was a piece of cake. Good luck to you.
