Every thing else has been talked about for the last few days/weeks/years. What more is there to say?

But this thread is breaking news! :)

“The soundtrack should be Credence: “Going Up Around The Bend”.”

More like “I see a bad moon arising”.

I hope you have a big supply of toilet paper handy

But seriously, the day before running to the bathroom every 15 minutes is the worst part about it

I slept through it like it never happened

they should hopefully do it to ya “painlessly”

at least that is what I am told

so... if done correctly, you should be just FINE!

(and you are smart to get it done before Obamacare kicks in, after which time it will be administered by transport security agents at your local post office???)

The soundtrack after drinking the prep should be either “Ground control to Major Tom” or “Rocketman!”

Didn`t they find that one of those laxatives, the one that uses salts of some kind, can cause kidney damage?

Just relax and enjoy it. Hope you don’t wake up halfway thru like I did - decided I was better off asleep and went back to it.

Having gone through it 4 times, I can say that the procedure is easy after the “prepping” (hate that word!) has been done the day before.

However, it may be a while before you will be able to make a toast with any of the following:

Bottoms up!

Down the Hatch1

or

Here’s looking at you, kid!

Good luck.

Is it too late to tell you that having a colonoscopy is not necessary, unless you have sypmtoms that warrant having one, or have close relatives who had colon cancer?

It's not that bad... Good for you for being proactive.

That said.... I hope you purchased a couple of boxes of Tuc’s

Good luck my Friend!.... And leave the fan running!

“I understand how someone could be a morphine addict. I had not a care in the world.”

When I have been put to sleep, that few minutes after the stuff goes in the vein, is like floating on a cloud and that’s great.

Swish a little clove or peppermint mouthwash in your mouth to cut the taste and wash the prep juice down with a couple swallows of Sprite or 7Up. Then stay close to the bathroom. I would have suggested a liquid diet yesterday, but alas it’s too late for that. Just remember get the anathesia and the prep will be worse than the procedure.

Had my first one at 50, pretty much everything that has been said here it true ( my pharmacist suggested hard candy, nothing that contains red dye of any sort ).

I was scheduled to be the 2nd procedure of the day, but the nurse came in and told me I had been bumped up to number one, the guy ahead of me had finished his prep the night before, decided he was really hungry and decided to eat a large pepperoni pizza, needless to say had to go through the prep again :)

Take care, it will be over before you know it :)
