Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire colonoscopy next week

Would that be the same doctor that gives a prostrate exam with both his hands on the patient's shoulders?

Aloe Vera wipes. You’ll thank me later.

There are different Preps with different flavors . I just pick one with a flavor I like . The taste is not bad for me . Different Preps also produce different results . My first Prep produced 16 Bathroom Trips . After that I asked the Dr. for something different . My experience is like Bobmars : that is waking up during one of the Procedures ( I think that was my 2nd or 3rd Colo . ) ........not much fun ! Because of all the hoopla over Drugs and also side-effects of using Meds like Demerol , Doctors tend to use a minimum Dose during Anesthesia . After that , I told the Dr. to inform the Anesthesiologist that I did not want to wake up until the Procedure was OVER . Last one went well . But if you think Colonoscopy Pain is bad , try getting a Heart Ablation and waking up During that Procedure while they are Burning out Nodes in your Heart . I was definitely not a happy Camper during that Procedure ...... felt like I was being Branded across the whole upper part of my Chest . When the Surgeon said ; " I'm almost done " , I think I must have used some choice words , so they put me under again while he finished .

I can’t believe it took 5 pages before someone mentioned wipes. My advice is to use wet wipes from the start of prep. By the time your butthole starts hurting from using tp 27 times in 4 hours it’ll be too late.

If it beats cancer, it worth it!

Or the length and tone of the farts you bust while you are coming out of the tranquilizer.

Mine went easy. The prep was tolerable except it was called "Golytely" and the person who named it that ought to be hit in the mouth.

Don't get more than 15 feet from a toilet.

My wife went in and could hear over the curtain at the next case, where a woman was being told she had not followed the prep procedures, she would have to be rescheduled, and insurance would not pay for this visit.

my doctor told me she doesn't do the finger thing anymore , just the blood test.

You will understand the true meaning of evacuation. And I'm not talking about any fire drill.


As was said before, you won't feel a thing.

Pretty not much of anything. I delayed to 55, my wife does all of her "stuff" per clockwork. I am on a 5 year schedule after my first and found the pre-work a cleansing of sorts. Simply a non-issue for me in the future. Now the vasectomy was another story that welcomed our youngest son (8 and 9 years after his brothers) Tony, a serious miss that would have been as he has been a joy. I did not enjoy that procedure. We, I and the two Doc's, learned that I needed an azzload of anesthesia. Three tries...

People get all wound up, bout a self portrait.

I've had 5 of them in the last 20 years (I'm higher risk as Dad had colon cancer). It's really not that bad. And as said above, beats being surprised by colon cancer someday!

I am not getting anymore of them.. I would not have surgery even if I had colon cancer so it would be stupid to have the procedure done.., I will accept whatever comes my way.. I have lived long enough. so as long as they have morphine to give me I am ok with it. I had an out of body experience and have a good idea of what to look forward to.. it is not as bad as everyone thinks, thanks GOD.

I had mine a while back, it's all behind me now.

Frankly, I find the fasting worse than the Bazooka Butt. Dinner one night, then a full day of fasting and power wash, then another night, and then half a day in the clinic before I get to eat again. That's something like 40+ hours of starvation. Gator-Ade gets old after a very short while.

They suck!

I had one about 6 years ago.....

The prep pooping sucks

I need another one here..... cancer runs in my family

it takes 3 to 5 years for a polyp to become cancerous , this is preventable .

Have your wife get a sharpie and write "exit only" on your backside with an arrow pointing to your anus. Also write "danger explosive gas may be present".
