Life Getting my first Colonoscopy tomorrow. - Page 10

The VA found blood in a sample and now I am getting my first Colonoscopy.

I am just a little worried and nervious, and worried and nervious.

Scared they are going to find something bad.

Prepping is awful, just awful. You didn't know you could poop that much before then. I did the "white diet" (that's racist .gif) the day before the actual Magnesium Citrate cleanse day, they say that helps even further with cleaning you out back/down there so the docs don't have to even think about anything other then operating the camera. Seemed to work - they actually told me I did a great job on my cleanse, lol.

Chop it out and send it away to test. If benign, no worries, but you do have to return in five years instead of ten for your next one.

Drinking the stuff right now…not half bad honestly. Still awaiting the first “oh shit!” Moment

Tell them to hold the Versed. If your bunghole is smarting it will be good to remember why.

It’s like your stomach rumbles 15 min after the second drink. Then rumbles. Then a few min rumbles again. This goes on for 20 min or so. Then you can feel the urge coming on and sit down. And it’s like the longest running diarrhea you’ll ever imagine

Then again. And again. Every 10 min or so for three hours. Bring War And Peace into the bathroom to pass the time

I must run out of anything remaining pretty quick, no? I mean, it was only 3 liters of the stuff that I drank.
