I have to get to the hospital at 6:45, so I’m just staying up and shytting liquid.
It went fine. They found 7 polyps.I have to get to the hospital at 6:45, so I’m just staying up and shytting liquid.
I was really out it afterwards. I was so messed up that I went home with the blood pressure cuff still on my arm. I slept for a few hours when I got home and my sister got me soup and crackers. I shouldn’t have stayed up all night.
Had mine done last year. Scheduled it for late in the afternoon and I had to fast until then. I was so weak I passed out in the pre-op area. They gave me an IV and I went through the whole bag almost instantly, felt amazing. Was a dope ass nap after the anesthesia hit too.
Procedure went well, nothing found, luckily.

I went early AM. Overall you gotta do it and the prep process is the worst part. That anesthesia sleep be hitting. I woke up and was like let me hit that there snooze button.

I love you, you know.
Yeah, the prep sucks…particularly the fluid that you have to drink 
The actual process is quick and painless though. They put you out…go up in your ass…wake up an hour later and it’s all done.

41. For me, this started a couple of year ago. I would get these strange stomach, but not really stomach pains.
I went to a gastroenterologist who told me I needed more fiber and that worked for the pain. But she sent me for my first colonoscopy. After the first one, I was sent to a new surgeon for a more advanced colonoscopy. This most recent one is my fourth time getting one done in like 2 and a half years.
Edit: At some point, one of the doctors told me I have serrated polyposis syndrome. So I get more polyps and have a higher risk for cancer. If the next one goes well, then I'll only have to get colonoscopies annually.
Only annually...

@Sonny Bonds sorry you are having those issues. At what age do you recommend people start getting a colonoscopy? I am 39 years old.

I just turned 36 in Dec, and I know it isn't a prostate exam BUT I did check my PSA levels and they're within range.

I was supposed to get one while in Colombia but I chickened out.
