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.

Yo, good luck tomorrow, probably feel really cool afterwards. I am going to the doctor for the first time in like 6 years next week. going to get BLOOD work, oh wow, these results will be COMICAL.

At least you get like 2-3 days of watching old school races on the net that you can download

Details pending, if you don't want to read it, then don't

-Well, last night was rough. You have to go to the bathroom and its explosive but its mainly water. Still not fun. Figure on some baby wipes so your butt doesn't become like a baseball mitt.

-I got some sleep, I would say you should stay up to get all the magnesium citrate you drink out before you go to bed. You'll still wake up and go a few times more, but you won't need to hang out in the bathroom that way.

Got there today. Nice nurses, easy with the IV, very friendly. They wheel you into this room and the anesthesia(sp?) guy asks a few questions then you lay on your side. Then like that, he gives you the juice and you're out. Don't remember anything, woke up feeling fine in another room. Gave me some apple juice even though I requested a gin and tonic.

Everything looked good, as good as a colon can look I'm sure....Now I can eat. Again, those of you over 40 or 50 who haven't had one should get one. No big deal.

Glad to hear it went well,Randall! It should be noted that in addition to manual tests from doctors, it is wise to ask for a PSA test when doing bloodwork. This test can be valuable as a tool for discovering any abnormalities EARLY. Cheers

Good deal.

I bet you regret not staying up for the beautiful view of your pink foldy room. Maybe its the best you got put under. Your dignity cant be taken away if you dont know what has happened.

In my case, they turned the camera on a bit to soon, so I got to see the camera enter said orifice. I tried to yell cut... cut the scene, like any good director, but alas the drugs caused me just to drool and the scene came thru in its uncut version.

It was not a pretty site. My butt just got larger and larger... and then...

The pink foldy walls were way more interesting than the detailed approach into a full moon. Star Wars like, impending doom type of stuff, a small craft approaching the Death Star as seen from the small craft.

I was the one violated.

I did not ask for the camera to show an upclose of the outside. I jsut wanted to see the inside. I had no desire whatsoever to see my outside. And it just closed in... I was helpless just watching the giant cleavage furrow approaching.

We all watched together. The nurse, the Doc, and myself. We watched me.

If anyone desires humiliation counseling I am available.

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!!!!

"Moon River" anyone remember that line?

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.
