All kidding aside…do the crap on a card thing. Most of the time that would get the job done.
That prep, unfortunately doesn’t work for me. I have to have the Dulcolax tablets, Gatorade, and one or two jugs of the Golitly solution either one or two days ahead of time. And of course, fasting one or two days ahead. My wife says it’s because I’m so “full of it”.🤪
I have Ulcerative Colitis, they removed a pre-cancerous polyp out of me two years ago. I was diagnosed in 1994, and I’m 67 now. I’ll be getting them for a while longer….
No kidding here. I refuse the fecal DNA test because they just refer for colonoscopy afterward anyway.
It takes longer without sedation. My first colonoscopy was sans sedation because I arrived alone—no driver assistance (wife on travel). It was fine, but occasional “cramp” feeling, which was uncomfortable, and introducing air causes cramps as well.
Did the doc tell him to “bark like a dog! Bad boy! Bad boy!”
Good luck to you. I hope those polyps are a thing of the past.
I was diagnosed with diverticulitis years ago, and followed the doctors warnings of what not to eat. I even excluded seeds although he hadn't specifically mentioned them. Despite restricting corn, popcorn, nuts, and seeds, I ended up with a perforated bowel back in 2010. I had to have a temporary colostomy for three months. Then they did the reversal. The remaining two abdominal surgeries I had, was to repair an incisional hernia where the colostomy stoma was, and to have my gall bladder removed. Because of the previous 3 surgeries, they couldn't do it laparoscopically, and had to open me up. Regardless, I was home the next day, and have never had a problem since. I can eat greasy food without issue. I'd read that a lot of people who have their gall bladder removed, get diarrhea, even after eating a burger.
After reading more about this, you MUST be sure that using the CG approach, does not cancel out normally covered colonoscopy procedure. I see some peeps were billed 1900-2000$ out of pocket.
The sedation I received was good. I was apparently slightly conscious because they had to twist and turn me because my bowels have weird twists and turns in them. As I was awakening, the nurse asked me if I remembered it and I said no. Coming out of anesthesia was relatively quick and easy. It simply blocks your memory.
Anesthesia today is very different from years ago. You can be sitting up and talking in an hour or less without massive hangover.
I have to have stent surgeries...all to often. My first one was great. Following surgeries were done by a different doctor and he tends to go as light as he can with anesthesia, therefore the surgeries are absolute traumatic torture. It’s horrible. And then he doesn’t want to give pain meds post surgically.
I’m moving to a different state, therefore I will be seeing different doctors...thank God.
Don’t complain if your procedures are painless. I tend to be cautious about chemicals, too, but some simply are necessary at times.

I didn’t even think about that. Excellent point.
Without a doubt.
Oh my.
