It is the prep that is the worsT”
This might be considered too much information but if it helps....
Buy Preparation H and the Preparation H wipes. They work
Put a blanket and pillow in the bathroom..easier than having to keep getting out of bed all night.
Try to get the first morning appointment. You have to be fasting and a noon appt is too long to go without eating.
The Occult blood cards only tell you if you have bleeding in your colon. You really need to know before it advances that far.
The virtual colonoscopy still requires the prep and if they see a polyp then you still have to go for the regular colonoscopy.
I worked in the lab across the hall from Endoscopy and only twice in 20 years did a Dr ever puncture the viscus of a patient.
I made the BIG mistake of taking an afternoon appointment for my first test. NEVER AGAIN. I was so dehydrated by the time the test rolled around that I had the worst headache EVER and they couldn’t find a vein to put the IV in. Why would they schedule that for the PM knowing full well what shape the patient will be in by that time of day?
Hunger is not a disease. Deal with it.
