Absolutely nothing to be afraid of, this is fairly routine. No big deal. Don't get all worked up over nothing.

Do you have an ounce of compassion for anyone else, you come off as a stone cold, uncaring woman.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I am so sorry and you both have my prayers and good wishes! Hold on to the thought that a lot out there are praying--even ones that didn't leave a response!

Sending prayers and best wishes your way for a speedy recovery for your husband. I am familiar with this happening to family and friends before; they had procedures to cauterize the bleeding vessels, and had no further problems.

Had many colonoscopies and also have permanent Titanium Clips holding a section of my right colon together.

I can tell you that you need not worry about this because I have been there, about 125+ blood transfusions for that reason. Mine was much different as nothing was done to start my bleeding as I had no polyps in my original colonoscopy that was years prior to my colon bleeding issues.

Don't worry about hemoglobin until it gets down to 7.0 unless you husband has had a heart attack, then it should not go below 10.0, according to my Cardiologist.

At this point I've had 13 colonoscopies and 5 Double Balloon Enteroscopies and I can tell you there is not reason to worry at this point. With mine they could not find the source of the bleeding, thus the multiple procedures trying to find it. With your husband they know where the source of the bleeding and it can be easily fixed either by laser or, clips like I have holding mine together now since 2012, without any bleeding.

Best to you and your husband,

((hugs))) and thoughts and prayers to your husband and yourself.

Please let us know how things are, when you get a chance.

Remember to take care of yourself too, while he is in the hospital. I pray that he will be on the mend real soon.

Thanks again for the prayers, well wishes and encouraging words.

He's out of surgery. He looks much better but a little yellow. He finally gets to eat a clear diet.

The polyp was a bleeder. They cauterized it, used some kind of chemical and clips to seal it off. They did cauterize it when it was removed but it didn't hold.

He's staying the night again.

He will need a colonoscopy in three years because of the polyp. Next time will be in a hospital instead of endoscopy center. We've already discussed it.

I'm home. He told me to go home & rest

Glad things are going well for your husband, Mary Bailey. Pamper and indulge yourself tonight to counteract the stress you were under.
