Good luck with colonoscopy. Being a doctor, the procedure is usually straight-forward and usually no complications. Usually the docs will give you a sedative and pain control with demerol. Takes about 30-40 minutes. Shouldn't have any problems. Great that you are getting this done for you and your family!!!!:) :)

As I remember Doc, we took a number of turns in my little adventure.

Had one last year.The worst part was that Fleet Phospho Soda that you have to take.There should be a warning label don't take if you want to be productive.The irony of this thread is that after reading it i looked to see if i still had the pictures and i do.

It is the colon probing that binds us.

I feel as if we are all one, with our internal plumbing, and as a board. Truely a spritual event that I shall cherish.

Can anyone tell me what the reasoning of getting one of these is? I mean, I am 28, should I be going to my doctor and telling him I need to have one or does something have to be wrong to have one?

No, dude I had an Irritable Bowel issue which has come and gone and was brought on by stress a few months ago. My stomach never really settled down. Its one of the reasons I take it easy when I drink b/c I really pay for it. You shouldn't get one unless you are having problems till you are in your 40's or have a family history of issues. Hope this helps Scavs

That's why I watch what I eat, but I got a Rx for something that has helped a lot. Simply slows things down.

Yeah, take better care of yourself. My dad had a triple bypass in his 50's so I really try to watch stuff like that.
