I love the colonoscopy prep

[Grama]

Headed into my tenth (no lie) colonoscopy tomorrow morning. I have to say the prep for the procedure has changed for the better. I did one 6 weeks ago and it was the same as today. 9 years ago it was Fleet and now it is just dulcolax and miralax. So much better. I asked my GI doctor last time if I could get the frequent flyer card. She laughed.

So tomorrow is the upper GI and colonoscopy. In and out of the hospital in about 2 hours. We have come a long way.

:shrug:

good luck :0074

my 1st 5 years ago was absolutely the worst night of my life :scared :scared

Oh I agree - it sucks ass but it is so much better than drinking that fleet syrup crap. I just wish they would figure this shit out.

(yes, that was 3 puns) :0008

All I drank was 1.5 oz Phosphate Oral Saline Laxative. It was like taking a shot of whisky :shrug:
Then I shit my guts out. I've even taken it once about a year later to cleanse my colon. No big deal.

The biggest PIA (no pun) was waiting for the procedure at the clinic.

They put me under, I had about a 3 sentence conversation with the guy doing the procedure and the next thing I knew they were wheeling me out and I had a great buzz for about an hour.

They told me, see you in 10 years for the next one.

I'd rather do that than go to the dentist

We still have to drink that gallon of crap here. But last time they saw a problem with my wife. In fact she has to go in tomorrow to consult with a specialist about it. It is a good thing she had it done.

 

[lawtchan]

Don't you get to fart as much as you want before they let you go, to get air out


My wife made me leave the room, it sounded like a brass band in the recovery area :mj07:

Always disagree with those who say the worst part is the prep. :scared To me the worst is waiting for results. :0008

When I first became a nurse I had a dementia patient who was getting a colonoscopy the next morning, I had to make sure she drank a gallon of "go lytly" In short it wasn't litely. There was shit EVERYWHERE, I still think I owe the aide a few more drinks.

The worst part for me is listening to all of Doctor Wongs Jokes.

I don't find her jokes to be funny or thought provoking.

Had an upper and lower a year or two ago. Had to drink like a gallon of 'castor-oil' like shit. I don't have a weak stomach but it was horrible.

 

[MadJack]

Not complaining but why am I the only one that only had to drink this little thing? Even my wife had to drink a gallon of crap and she could not do it. :lol:
