You go back to the hosp the same day and they remove the part you wear on body then download the data it takes around a week for results and meantime you pass the capsule in faeces as expected.DD😘

Haha, and there was me wondering if you had to look for the capsule at the other end!  😂
😂. you do have to make sure it does arrive at the other end though as it can apparently cause infection if left in. I'd have to remember to take my glasses in the loo with me!

The good news is that you just flush it away ..apparently they don't want it back   ;D. This is one type of 'single use' which is acceptable thank goodness!

There's a good explanation of the whole procedure on the NHS Wales website http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sitesplus/documents/866/PIU1001%283%29%28ABUHB%29%28Active%29%28MAY%2018%29.pdf
