I have to get a Colonoscopy, anyone here have that done? What’s it like?

The prep work is the worst part

Exactly. The purpose is to clean you out and by the end you feel like it’s just water coming out.

The prep is borderline torture... the Propofol nap is amazing

Torture because you crap so much? Hurts to crap? Everyone is saying it’s torture

NBD, even the prep

This. Best nap ever

A doctor put a camera in my butt. Not for a procedure - he suspected his nurse

More times than I’d care to admit. The prep is the worst part. Also make sure

I did, but not by choice. On my mission in Korea I had to have several tests done, & wasn't put under for any of them.

Best sleep you ever had. Worst part is the IV. The prep isn't bad, other than the requirement to drink so much in

That's just a cliche thing people say. It isn't true though.

Superkid

Jan 3, 11:45am

Which part is the cliche?

Bob Vance

The "best sleep you ever had" comment. If that's the best sleep you ever had,

I guess we are both right. My watch is always yelling about my sleep habits. Whatever the anesthetist used works for

I've been put to sleep for a few surgeries and one was 5-6 hours. It's all the

Deep surgeries for me are different and waking up sucks. I'm typically angry because of the brain fog and I don't like

Oh yeah. I guess I’m not even considering the waking up part when people say it

Tbh, I genuinely felt it was, but I also have poor, self-imposed sleep habits.

I preferred the Colonoscopy to a Bone Marrow Biopsy

I've heard bone marrow biopsies are brutal

You should ask Oscar if there’s anything you can do to make it more enjoyable for you… or the doctor.

Get ready to crap so much that it hurts to wipe

It’s 2025 no one should be wiping, what are we a 3rd world country?

Worst part was the sore throat

Anyone know why they put you under? Why not just a local anesthetic?

BYU_CPU

Jan 3, 12:05pm

I guess just comfort because of the whole "violation" thought of it. I scheduled mine with an endoscopy, I wouldn't

CB Docs-is the new blood test or Cologard not sufficient enough to avoid this?

I did the Cologuard test. They claim to be almost as accurate.

Nothing like having a TV Camera shoved up your sphincter while you are incapacitated with a date rape drug

yes, twice. Enjoyed it very much. Best nap ever and didn't feel the probing.
