Welcome. Dad died of recurring colon cancer. I have Crohns. Been on the 3 year plan since 36.

I heard the prep was the worst part..but look on the bright side Kev..this will be the first time in your life that no one can say your "full of sh!t"..!!! ![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
Spread'em and go to sleep. You are in good hands... (Not my hands but good hands.) Bless you brother. about five or so years ago. Almost coming up on another one...
Oh, take the medicine and follow directions. A guy that had his about the same time I did came out farting and schmidting... of course he followed directions. yeah, the doctor's have never done it before...he fooled them. Of course he gets charged twice... Dang that was nasty to hear...

Kev has an ample supply.... Kind of like stating to a cobra you have been de-venomized...
Pretty much where I am. The drink for the prep is horrible. I couldn't even finish it last time as I nearly threw up. Hopefully you have better luck with it. The procedure itself is completely painless given the drug for anesthesia (think I typically get Versed).
Have had to have colonoscopies every 4-5 years starting in my late 20s as I had blood in my stool and they find a polyp every time. I'm fortunate I got tested at a much younger age than is normally recommended.
I just took my first bottle an hour ago. I have to take the next one at 10
I’ve already been to the restroom twice. Oh well, it’s going to be a long night. My procedure is tomorrow morning at 7:00 am, so at least it will be over early.
I woke up for about 3 minutes in the middle of mine. Talked to the doctor and watched part of the procedure on screen before dozing off again. They made sure I had someone to drive me home. Good day of rest.
It’s not that bad just pray they don’t puncture your intestines , I was awake and cognizant during mine, don’t be embarrassed to fArt in the hospital
No it was not a fun couple weeks but I got it sorted knock on wood I guess times have changed Cuz I was wide awake asking questions , They told me to rip away and I as like no way but U cant help it
My first was in my early 20’s.....weight lifting. I got the rhoids.....not the good kind. They just wanted to double check with a scope.
This..do this...so much better than that big bottle of lemon awfulness.
You might want to take the next bottle earlier. Often takes 3-4 hrs for you to stop.....and you don’t want to be up till 2.
If they find pre cancerous polyps you be back in three years...if they don't then it is five. Good luck.
Thanks. I’ll probably do that, but the instructions said take one bottle at 5 and the other at 10
Kev, be sure to let us know how your day went after the dope wears off. Enjoy your restful day.
No post while you are still doped up please
Dang, I will have to re-look my results I was thinking they told me ten years... I had what looked like a big ole thing inside but they stated it was nothing. I got copies to my son who works in the field and his doctor stated it was nothing too. Looked like it needed removing to me but they didn't...
Yep, Yep, and Yep.
On a public service announcement note, it’s not a pleasant experience but it’s an important one from a long term health standpoint. My dad had a colonoscopy back in 2007 at age 71, and a cancerous polyp was discovered. The doctors spliced about a foot of his colon out and reconnected it, and he’s been cancer-free since then.
I had one done three years ago when I turned 50, and a benign polyp was removed.
You’re probably enjoying the process right now @kev69.....
For next time......since you can’t anything except clear liquids all day, it really doesn’t matter when you clear your system that day. That being said you have to space out the doses. So, if your Doc wants 5 hrs between doses, I would’ve taken #1 at noon and #2 at five......then get a good nights rest.
LOL. I’m not sure how I’m going to keep any dignity with the procedure tomorrow.
I guess I’ll be medicated to where I don’t care.
It hasn’t been too bad so far. Three times to the toilet and stuff flying out of me like it’s being sprayed with a fire hose. I always use that Poo Pouri stuff anyway, so I can’t smell anything.
My next bottle of that stuff is at 10, so hopefully I’ve already gotten most of the crap out of me.
I know one thing, I’m going to eat like a condemned prisoner tomorrow, because I’m already hungry.

There used to be a pill you could take. I know I took it for one of my procedures and it seemed to work but I think it was pulled because it doesn't clean you out as well as that horrible liquid concoction.
About 4 years ago they pulled 2 large and 3 small out of me. They were pre cancerous. Last year they pulled 3 small and 2 of them were pre cancerous. Since there were pre cancerous polyps I get to go back at 3 years. If there were no pre cancerous it would be 5.
Apparently, when they were putting me under during one, I remarked to the pretty black lady tech who was prepping me that I was sorry for sticking my white butt in her face.
I remember seeing the beginning of mine on the screen. They turned it on and I could see the floor, then movement, then my bare butt, then...... entry. It would make one hell of an Imax movie. I think it would feel like this:
As for the drugs, I woke up to smiles and giggles. They never told me why.

Good morning, Paddock! It's @kev69's ass-virginity losing day!!
Ole Kev is getting his business reamed about now. Not sure why I thought of that but hope he's okay.
Sorry to hear that but thanks for the information. I will recheck my paperwork. I found it last night and will re-look it this evening. I hope all goes well for you.
Wishing Kev69 well as they probe and look. I have never heard anyone say they regret having this done and a lot of us sure were glad when they found the pre cancerous polyp and removed it. Best to you Kev.
I work in an Endoscopy Suite. Most Patients HATE the Prep[Understood}. First of ALL let me say...HAVE ONE!!!!! It could SAVE your life!! DO NOT SKIMP ON YOUR PREP! If you aren't totally clean because of a poor prep there is a chance polyps will be missed. We find polyps all the time on most people. Most are non cancerous. Even some smaller cancerous polyps can be taken out with out the need for a BIG OPERATION. EVERYONE should have one at age 50 or whenever their Doctor thinks you need one due to Family History!! You owe it to your Family and Yourself!!
Are you sure he still has his flower intact? This is Kev we're talking about.....
....lol......talk to you in a bit Kev......enjoy the nap....
