Consult GI surgeon: You should be in hospital until this is taken care of. This would certainly be the case if you have a full-thickness bowel perforation. Your colonoscopist must have discussed the problem with you & discussed the options. Hope you don't need a temporary bowel diversion such as a colostomy.
