Getting A Colonoscopy Tomorrow

[docvegas.]

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.

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
