A member asked:
Having a colonoscopy tomorrow is that safe if i had part of my small intestine removed february 27th? please help. thank you?

Prior small intestinal surgery does not increase the risk of problems from colonoscopy, and your doctor would not have recommended colonoscopy if that were a problem. If your intestinal surgery was for a problem like Crohn's disease, the colonoscopy might be needed to check for Crohn's in the large intestine. Follow your doctor's advice. Good luck.
