Folks,
Just wondering if there are any issues with having a colonoscopy when having an implant ?
Do you have to tell the colonoscopy doctor that you have an implant ? would they be able to see it ?
Dont want to share too much information if i dont have to.
thanks,
Pal

Re: What are the signs of an infected implant?
The major signs that you can see are pump stuck to the skin and/or thickness around pump and valve that is increasing. High white blood cell count would confirm the infection.
If you get an infection within the first 4 weeks after surgery it means it is aggressive and a salvage may not be possible.

Limpbizcit ,
You say the antibiotics affected your kidney function. Was that only temporary while you are on them or long term.
