Trip Report: My First Colonoscopy
#6
RE: Trip Report: My First Colonoscopy
(November 20, 2024 at 6:33 pm)arewethereyet Wrote: I had my first one earlier this year.  Luckily it netted results good enough that I don't need another one for ten years.  I have other digestive issues to deal with but not the things usually caught by a colonoscopy.

I am a pretty small person and drinking all that prep liquid, and keeping it down, was near impossible.  If I live another ten years I will still be hesitant about the process unless they come up with a prep that isn't quite so brutal.  

The actual procedure was nothing.  The prep was horrible for me.

I'm a beer drinker, a Liverpool fan, and a rugby nut. I downed the pint of solution and the 2 other pints of water in 30 minutes. My beer guzzling skill paid off!

ETA - kidding aside, I just wanted to get it over.
