Been drinkin' the kool-aid....

Glad all was well, Mikey.
Yeah, that shiz is nasty. I went for the Taste-Free kind....that was a mistake. It didn't have any taste to mask the flavor of sucking the water under the Santa Monica pier at noontime through a straw...... uk
Had to have a colonoscopy AND one from the other end (whatever that's called.) They basically touched in the middle... :wtf
Something about laying on my side with my butt exposed then a nurse shoving a plastic bracket in my mouth while the Dr. whistles made me nervous....right before the drugs kicked in......... :confu

Female doctors are the best. they have small fingers.....

Glad to hear all is well!

Yes my Doctor is cute little Pakistani female that reminds me of the actress Parminder Nagra, but alas the specialist that I am seeing is a tall black dude with no sense of humor. I get my results in 2 weeks. Oh yes the the wonderful things that we go through as we get older. :roul

The crap they gave me was lemon lime and week old road salt flavor. Had to down a gallon of it, and I couldn't drink it. I had to dilute it with another gallon of water just to get that vile concoction down. Two gallons of Montazumma's Revenge margarita mix, one hell of a night, and a few pounds lost. And since I was still living a home at the time, my dad and brother made sure to take advantage of the situation and play jokes. Making someone laugh, when they're scared to even breathe, is not cool. Neither is moving the toilet paper to the other side of a large bathroom.

And a bit of irony to the story. Years before I had the procedure done, I wired all the low voltage electrical in the same doctor's office. We joked about all the butt scopes and such. Little did I know, I'd be the punchline of half the jokes we made a few years down the road.

I have had the procedure twice, the prep is worse then the actual probe, good luck, hope all is well.

Everyone here seems to be comparing two crappy situations and that one is better than the other.....no way....both are crappy things for sure. Maybe you all are just trying to make yourself feel better about having to drink the crap and then allow.....no...ask some big dude to stick his finger in your back side. None of it is fun....just hope you don't need them more than 1 every 5 years or so. I used to tell my Dad that he has gotten used to them when he stayed awake and watched......I always want to be out....

BTW, hope all is well when ever anyone goes thru these.

The prep is worse than the procedure. I mixed the Miralax in Gatorade. Not all that bad.
My Dad died in 2006 after two years of chemo and terrible surgeries for colon cancer.
It was hell.
Second time for me was June 9, would have been my dad's 75th birthday. Only one little polyp.
My sister had her first colonoscopy early because of Dad's situation. They found several Precancerous polyps.

Glad you all are getting checked. When symptoms appear it is often too late.

I hope the results of your 'procedure' report a healthy colon.
