For those of you who have had this done, how long did it take for you to find out the results? The same day or days/weeks later?

Hello,

it took me a week till I got my result after a colonoscopy, but I have been told it can take up to 2 weeks cuz of the biopsy needed.

Good luck

Yes, it took a week for me to get the results too. I had three little polyps removed.

Hi
Hi, (Colonoscopy) I was told immediately after waking up in recovery room, no polyps no growths, everyting looked clear and clean.......if there is a polyp or some type of growth that is not suppose to be there, a biopsy in order, the results could be anywhere from 4-7 days. Depending on when the Dr. can read them and get back to you. Same for my endoscopy, in which mine tured out to be gastritis and I was diag. with H. Pylori bacteria. Hope this helps!
