Before my first one I was told that versed would act as a truth serum and I'd be talkative. I wasn't too worried until the anesthesiologist came in, an attractive woman in a lab coat with nice legs showing. I thought "oh, shît. I'm going to say something". My last memory was me thinking to myself "don't f'n say anything. don't f'n say anything...". When I woke I looked around to see if the cops were there.

I have always said if a colonoscopy prep was part of any sentence for commiting a crime the crime rate would plumet.
RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

Every 5 years starting at age 55. Sounds good for the doctor it takes 5 years for polyps to become cancerous , i am doing it in 3-4 years intervals and everytime the polyps were becoming cancerous. dont get fooled by Cologuard , you need to do it before.

I've had two they've taken out spots and polyps each time so I have to do it every 3 years. honestly it's no big deal.
the bigger deal is like I watched my 46 year old brother-in-law die of colon cancer. this is something you do not want to happen to you or do you don't even want to see somebody suffer from this. they discovered his at the stage 4 where it already moved to other organs.. watching somebody that would remind you a lot of Michael McConaughey in about 8 months turn into an unrecognizable skeleton is pretty bad..

The new guidelines are to start at 45 and every 5 years after that. They are finding pre-cancerous polyps in younger people these days and want to start prevention earlier- and the gastroenterologists want to take and extra vacation each year....
I recommend it to everyone I know. Painless for the most part and the prep is a relatively minor inconvenience compared to the alternative.
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

Mine was performed by a doctor I knew fairly well and I show up and met his very pretty nurse/assistant. When we met to go over the results he was professional and everything was fine. At the end of my appointment he said I should ask out the nurse and that I was killing it and she was rather smitten. I was too embarrassed to go forward plus I knew him well enough to know it may not had gone as he said and I was being setup.

Had our daughter had her first such exam at 45, rather than at 50, she very well might still be with us.

Get some of that Desitin type diaper rash ointment and pre-grease your butt before the purge. It will help keep it less like a opossum's ass in poke berry season.

I agree with those that believe this a very minor procedure, everybody should be getting them along with, in the case of men a psa Far to many are dying , far to young of completely preventable deaths if detected soon enough.

At 50, back in 2000, I had my first colonoscopy simply because I had read that one should start at age 50. Doc found 1 polyp, but it was the type that becomes cancerous. When I told him my mom died of colon cancer he told me I was in the high risk group and needed the scope every 3 years, which I’ve followed. Last year he told me I could now start having the scope at 5 year intervals. The prep is nothing compared to colon cancer. Be smart and get it done.

Stay awake Two reasons. Nothing to it. Watch it on TV live.
Secondly, Anesthesiologist are incredibly expensive to put you under. And they can kill you. They killed me.
Sux waking up. Room in panic, jumper cables on your chest.
When it can easily be avoided.

I had the first done at 50 since that was when it was recommended. The prep as stated sucked. I could see why folks get hooked on propofol. Best sleep I ever had. They found 5 polyps but none were cancerous. I was told to come back in 3 years. Second time they found 9 polyps. Again none cancerous. Come back in 6 months. 3rd time they cut out 13 polyps. again none cancerous I was told to come in back in 3 years. ???? The math didn't work out. I guess I'm a polyp farm and they decided I was good after removing 13. I have no clue. Seems every time I went I grew more but after 3 times they decided to schedule me 3 years later. Maybe we have a gastrologist in the house who can answer that question.

I've said it before..... the Worse thing about a colonoscopy is the day before. The Best thing about a Lower GI is the day before...... and both days are the same! Added: Just one minor detail and this is a minor detail...... you are awake for the Lower GI. Lower GI is also known as a Barium Enema

It is no big deal and yes the prep isn't fun. A little trick I use is a day before the prep stop at a McDonald's and get a vanilla shake. That night it makes me crap totally until I'm empty. When the prep starts all that's in there is water. Dock said I was clean as all hell. Lol

I've found the prep never lived up to the hype, it's just not that big of a deal. Eat light for a couple of days before instead of stuffing your gut like you're gonna starve to death, and you won't [bleep] your brains out.

Eat light for a couple of days before instead of stuffing your gut like you're gonna starve to death, and you won't [bleep] your brains out. This was my experience. I followed my doctor's instructions for the two days prior and the prep time was not a big deal. Not exactly fun, but nothing like the horror stories you'll see repeated. Now if one were to knock off a bag of these a couple of hours before starting the prep solution, well, things could get rough.

I've found the prep never lived up to the hype, it's just not that big of a deal. Eat light for a couple of days before instead of stuffing your gut like you're gonna starve to death, and you won't [bleep] your brains out. This was my experience. I followed my doctor's instructions for the two days prior and the prep time was not a big deal. Not exactly fun, but nothing like the horror stories you'll see repeated. Now if one were to knock off a bag of these a couple of hours before starting the prep solution, well, things could get rough. I like those. Just wish they didn't stain my pants and hands red.
I am MAGA.
