October Colonoscopy

I had a colonoscopy on Friday October 10, 2008. It revealed what appeared to be a lipoma ( fatty tumor in where the large and small intestine meet near the appendix. I was in agony after this procedure and went to the emergency per the advice of my primary care dr. to be checked out. The Emergency room Dr. was superb and kept me over night after running catscan , blood test , etc. It was decided by the surgeon Dr.Kim that after utrasound as well that the situation was not life threatening and that I would get all the preop work done and have surgery on the following Thursday, October 23. A visit to the gynecologist on the Friday before revealed maybe a small cyst on the ovary but nothing to be operated on.
