Good luck.
When I say afternoon I mean that's when I eat. Procedure is before noon. [Reply]
It's an assembly line they wheel you in this bed to a queue line with a couple of beds ahead of you. when it's your turn it's like a dentist they place you facing the device that's obviously going up your wazzoo and it's not a dentist drill. Your first thought is no way that's all going in my butt. Then the gas and they ask you to count from 100 backward. I'm not sure I got to 99 and the next thing you are in the big recovery area you started curtains pulled around you and the nurse comes in checks your vitals unhook you and tells you to go get dressed and the Doc will see you. If the setup was like the one I was at you will hear the farting all around people blowing out the air that was pumped in the butthole. My Doc explained that I had no polyps and that he would see me in 10 years also that I had some Diverticulitis. [Reply]
When I had mine I remember coming to as they were pulling the thing out of my arsehole. It felt like I was dreaming and had to take a massive shit. I legit thought I was shitting my pants.
They had to use a smaller IV than they wanted because I was dehydrated as fuck and they couldn't find a vein, which isn't normal for me. The medicine they used to sedate me seemed super thick, so I'm wondering if the smaller IV made it more difficult to get the proper amount of meds. I think that might be why I came to so quickly.

And that includes colon and prostate screenings.
Prostate exams and colonoscopies are just as important for men as it is for a woman to have annual pelvic exams and periodic mammograms.
I know polyps can potentially be cancerous and that at age 45 everyone should be scoped. I was just curious as to why he thought he needed it done, because he may have polyps is a silly reason. There is a chance anyone has polyps. That's why I asked how old he was or if he was having issues. If he isn't 45, then it may be hard to find a doctor that's gonna order a colonoscopy, especially if he isn't high risk or having health issues. Hell, even if the doctor did order it just because he wanted it, then good luck with the insurance paying for it. [Reply]

Yeah no shit prevention is key, but if he's not 45, isn't high risk, or doesn't have any health issues, then he's gonna have a hard time finding a doctor to do one and I doubt that anyone's insurance would pay for it.
I asked because his reason was that he could have polyps. If he would have said he's the age to have it done, he has stomach issues, or that he has a high risk of colon cancer, then I wouldn't have said anything. [Reply]
