colonoscopy & implant

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

If you get an infection within the first 4 weeks after surgery it means it is aggressive and a salvage may not be possible.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the advice and encouraging words. I have been feeling down last few days about the pain and not being mobile, but your kind words do help. Thanks.
