Last time around they must have given me some really good drugs to knock me out as I didn't even remember the doc coming in to discuss the results. Asked my wife about this and she said I was awake and responsive but I have no memory of it at all. The same exact thing happened to me when I had my colonoscopy. Which is why they require someone drive you home. Had the displeasure for the 1st time last year. After the first sip of the lightning water inducer decided that the half-stepping approach was no bueno. Dug my heels in and pounded the 1.5 gal of misery in an hour. Never do overnight what you can do in 60 minutes, right? Needless to say, arse doc said I was a rockstar patient, all guts no mess inside. Signed form indicating I agreed to getting driven home. She is legal to drive but I'd feel safer in a rickshaw with a pilot running off on 10 hits of LSD#25. She wheeled me from the clinic to the Lex and said, 'OK Daddy I'm going to try to drive us home now', and threw me a playful, knowing smile. 'Like hell you will my lovely wife/concubine. I've had my fill of bad experiences for today, plus we both know you'd crash before exiting the lot'. What your job entails is to watch me closely and make sure I don't fall asleep and to try to make sure I keep it under 90...' My lass is so old school and I adore her. Asian drivers! Am I right?!!

Laffin...You write some hilarious stories, and they’re true. 10 hits of LSD is nothing big fella...I face palmed a pile of fresh cow pie mushrooms and drove home, thinking that playing chicken with every other parked car was proper fun. Totaled isn’t even a good description of that night...Aah, the good ol days! 🦫 Hate to be the 'topper' but that's Romper Room bush league stuff, kid. On my 20th b-day I ingested something along the lines of 150 hits of crystalline LSD (remind me to relate this corker of a tale when we hopefully meet some fine day). At Brigham & Womens' ER in Boston I demolished 4 security guards, tripped the manual emergency sprinklers and made a pact with Lucifer requiring I sever the head off my old man and make a nice soup of it. At the time it made perfect sense as I was in 5 point restraints at the time and I was convinced he was the Japanese version of Cornelius of Planet of the Apes fame. Making the folks proud one weekend at a time back then, yessir! I hope they know how ashamed and sorry I am for the years of horror shows me and Cap'n Chaos put them through...(hey Ma look, no flippers!)

Don't know why but I was put on a liquid diet for 72 hours prior to having a colonoscopy and only soft food for 48 hours after.

I’m 55 and been high risk since my 20’s. Lost count of the number of colonoscopies I’ve had, close to 15 would be my guess. Compared to 30yrs ago, it’s a breeze. I schedule for a late Friday morning procedure. Doing the Thursday evening, Friday morning clean out is no problem. Avoids traffic issues and provides two day recovery. And no matter how much it might suck, sure beats the alternative.

I think I have had 8 colonoscopies. Polyps were removed each time. None of them were cancerous. Apparently I am very good at producing polyps.  I have to agree with those who said the GoLyltly was awful. I had the 4 litre treatment three times. Cramps like labour pains. I had a couple polyps that were so deeply in-bedded in my bowel that the surgeon said it couldn't be removed with the scope. I had bowel surgery and they removed about 6" of my colon. The prep that I prefer is called Purgo Dan or Pico-Salex. Drink lots of water during prep. My last scope was this spring. Couple small polyps removed which tested benign. Doc said she would see me in 5 years.

I've had 5 or 6 of 'em, most recent was June of last year. Next one will be 4 years from now. Same prep as ready on the right described above, no big deal....

Y'all are weaklings.
Nothing to it.
Sit on the toilet, get some work done for 3-4 hours and then off to bed.
1st appt in the morning, then momma takes me to breakfast at a nice place while I enjoy my fentanyl buzz and a nice breakfast and coffee.
You mean you had to have momma go with you. Did she hold your hand? Turn in your 'man card'.

I've had 3, on the 5 year schedule. Man, Bighorn. a 2 day prep? Bro, you are full of it! Or were.  I guess I'm lucky - I'm with TimberRunner and ready on the right on this thing. Start prep about 4 pm, back doing stuff by noon the next day. The first time I woke up feeling "That's the best sleep I've had in years!"
