PillCam

I had the Pillcam today after doing all the prepping yesterday which was the worst part about it.
I swallowed the capsule at 9:50am and was told to remove the belt at about 10pm or when I go to bed tonight and the capsule would pass either late tonight or tomorrow.
I was allowed home once the specialist had checked to make sure the capsule was in the small intestine after an hour of swallowing ,which it was.A light lunch at 12 and a cup of coffee (on instruction of the specialist) and carry on as normal through the day.
Well,Lo and behold I passed the pretty flashing capsule at 13:30,basically only 3 1/2 hours after swallowing!!!
Not sure if they can get the same results as if it were in for the full 8-9 hours......but I did phone endoscopy department and they said it happens sometimes.....

Did you have to have it all over again Ides,or did they give it up as lost cause?
And I suppose the lady that took less than 2 hours didn't get very many pictures! :(
Maybe if they did it again on me without so much prepping it might have stayed in for longer,who knows....
I do know that when I eat anything it's passed quickly so might not make that much difference.

Thats partly the reason why they did it for me too...and the nausea and weight loss! AND when you do the prepping your not allowed to take any form of codeine or immodiums.Which I take daily to slow me down! lol
