Will report back all the exciting details....Just started to take the stuff for the night before. I hear I will be sh.itting my brains out all night. Not too thrilled. Any advice or happy experiences? Hope the doc doesn't find me cute when I'm passed out.

I'm touched that you remembered. Such a sweet girl...Yeah I thought I'd go public with it. I'm the ultimate nothing to hide guy. Why not bring a tender subject into the open, like Katie Couric when she did hers on national TV.

I really should call in about it....I mean, its just DT ers there anyway....We'll see how it goes. I am more fearful of tonight and the IV(not HIV paisq--lol---inside joke) they put in. I'm such a baby with that stuff.

Just remember if the doctor has both hands on your shoulders it's not his hand up your arse it's something else.

oh no, ya poor bastard!

i had one a few years ago--lucky you, MY doc had me drinking that garbage from lunchtime saturday thru sunday, rather than just the one day. oh, fleet! you nasty tasting crap you!!

i slept thru the whole goings on that monday morning. puked after waking up and drinking some sprite. laid around a bit that morning, and then was fine. no biggie.

can't wait for the next one-many years from now i hope.

A wonderful experience for me. Nothing like a good cleansing for a clean view.

I opted to watch the whole thing on TV. Very interesting. Watch it around those curves Randall, thats where it hurts the most. I did some flinching as the camera rounded the corners.

This is a great experience for one's ego. You will have none left, they keep it at the office. Good luck, Im sure you will be fine.

This also leads me to a completely new line of thought. After taking this sort of probing, I really dont understand how anyone could actually enjoy having anything stuck up that particular orifice... its completely beyond me, but to each his/her own.

No way, they are knocking me out for this thing. I'm not watching anything!!....Started taking the crap at 5pm, I've been pretty bathroom bound since 7 or 8 but ducked out to meet with my supporters.

You are a true man of the people Randall... and if you were not humble before this, you will be after. Get er done.

Rand...best of luck bro. Will be thinking of you.

Any reason in particular you are getting one at such a young age? Im 34 and have not had one.

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.

Randall is all good today I betcha. Excellent! Cleansed with bacteria repopulating merrily.

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.
