Had my first pouchoscopy. It was 6 minutes and the propofol knocked me out. I was a zombie for two days. Dizzy, tired, edgy. Gas anyone done this with maybe just a sedative like Zanax or maybe laughing gas instead? I don’t want to use nothing, as i gef anxiety just walking into that hospital, after almost dying there. If i had something to just make me not care .. i might be ok. Even thc maybe? Any input on alternatives, because 6 minutes ain't worth two days of severe fatigue.
Second, i have no pouchitis, but am going 20x a day, clustering, up all night . I am 5 months post surgery. After the louchoscopy 6 days ago, i’m only going 10x a day, and it feels more comfortable and “normal” no constipation, just better less frequent bathroom visits. Why??? This makes no sense..
lastly, i fell a lott of back pain, since the pouchoscopy.. my entire back. I wasn’’t in a weird position and the surgeon uses wedges to keep you in a supported position to avoid and strain. It feels like the sorenes after an intense back workout: cranky, tired, crampy, sore..
surgeon said he has no answer for any of this
Any input would be stellar!
