Colonoscopy tommorow

Liquids only today, with 1 shot of Phospha-Soda, and another this morning. Blech!

Bottoms up!
 
The prep is a drag, but the procedure is a breeze. I always want to watch the monitor, but whatever they give me always puts me out.

I've been scoped down the throat too. Can't remember what they call it. The prep for that is no fun either. They spray the back of your throat for what seems like forever and then have you spit it out. That's when you get the "surprise". It tastes like battery acid and your whole throat, tongue, mouth and whatever go numb.

I believe that's called an endoscopy.
 
I had the scope they put up my pee hole, no pain meds or nothing.

I can remember when the doctor pointed to the video monitor and then I passed out from the pain.

IIRC Endoscopy is a very broad term that includes all scope types (bronchoscopes, colonoscopes, enteroscopes, etc.).

Don't they put up a thread or something up there for STD tests?

You're right, my mistake. The one mentioned before is actually a esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
 
I hand it all boys and girls, from both ends. The last procedure I had done was an Upper GI. The lower GI I had done was awful, I wasn't even sedated for it.

I hear the Colonoscopy is much better than the Lower GI. The worst part of the lower was when they pumped air in. I hope I'm unconscious if anything like that happens to me.
 
Damn I hope medical technology develops quickly enough so I don't have to bother with this 😛 Now they have a pill sized camera that can go through you, but not as good as well...

this was a camera the size of a number 2 pencil, my prostate had locked up and they were checking my bladder for obstructions. Whatever was the obstruction was moved by the camera :Q

I then had to have a cathidor in for 10 days.
 
OK, I just took my first dose of that salty-gross stuff.

The instructions say to take 3-Tbsp (or 1.5Fl Oz), but when I used a 3 measuring Tbsps there was still quite a bit left in the 1.5 FL Oz bottle. WTH??

That's what I just took

I'd rather not take too much, but why did it say 3Tbsps=1 whole 1.5Fl Oz bottle, then when I measured it out it was wrong?

The crap I had to take came with a jug with the medicine in it, and packs of flavoring. It was the worst stuff I ever had in my mouth, ever. I had to take a glass every 15 minutes or so until the jug was empty. I think the jug was a gallon.

Was what you took just a one time thing?
