Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire colonoscopy in 2 weeks

I had one years ago. Clean as a whistle. At my age, I am not getting another. Cost/benefit thing is just not there.

At what age do they stop?

When you die.

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.

No big deal.

Or you could get the box and ship it.😂

I tell the doc to F U C K off ....simple !

No wonder Boomers like war so much. Getting a camera shoved up your ass every five years .

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.

The prep is the worst of it.

i use MiraLAX , just add water and drink it.

i go on a mostly liquid diet a week before do the MiraLAX 3 days before and thats it.

I hope everything comes out ok

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.

Thanks for that detailed account, Tom.

that should be a daily routine . your sphincter needs lube.

You are one weird dude.

Did it today for the first time. Prep sucks but glad it's done. Have an uncle with colon cancer. He never had a colonscopy.

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.
