Filling out the 8500-8 on the FAA's Medxpress program and I was wondering if a colonoscopy would be considered surgery for question "18 x" "Any other illness, disability or surgery"? I had one about 4.5 years ago no problems found. On my last medical after the Colonoscopy I put down that I saw the GI doc for a colonoscopy where I'm supposed to write doctor visits in the past 3 years but I did not list it the box "x" on question 18 under medical history. I never thought of it as surgery. I declared it as a Dr. Visit but not surgery. A Doc friend said its a "procedure" Perhaps I'm just being a bit neurotic but I want to make sure I report everything accuratly.
