I had my first colonoscopy recently, when I was almost 1½ year out. I asked my surgeon and he said there is no problem with it. We only need to be sure that what you are supposed to drink is sugar free. Good luck! Helen Hi Lois!

Since none of the wls I know of alters the large intestine, the colonoscopy is not a problem. You do the bowel prep the same way, and the doctors do their bit the same way. Now the upper GI endoscopy is a little different for people with surgeries that involve altering the size of the stomach. I have had two endoscopies as well, but for those I have been very careful to tell everyone involved that the structure of my stomach is not normal, and that they therefore have to be very careful. With that caveat, I've had no trouble with the endoscopies, either. Good luck, and don't worry!
