anybody ever had a colonoscopy?
 

Gotta get one next Tuesday. :pissed: :cry: :help:

no big deal. just fart a bunch after

Hopefully, I'll still be able to. :rolleyes:

You better, because you can't leave the hospital until you do fart!

have fun..... drink the koolaid!! lol

YIKES . . . . got to suck bein old

Go Lytly........the name does it NO justice!!!!!

Lol, we all get closer every year though.

i got a little ways to go . . . .

You have nothing to worry about unless you feel the doctors both hands on your waste.

Oh and schedule it early in the morning.....mine was late in the day and the no eating almost killed me!!!

The flavoring they give you for the go lytly is horrible! I can still taste it and its been a long time......ask them if there's any other way to "cleanse"

Just had my third one 2 weeks ago.
The worst part of it is the stuff you have to drink the day / night before.
I had to mess w/ my doc a bit,
Had my wife take a washable marker and write EXIT ONLY across my butt before i went in for the procedure. When i woke up she was standing by my bed w/ an envelope. In it was a picture of my butt and under what she had written was a sign on a piece of paper that said.... Wanna Bet?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta start fastin' Sunday night and start drinkin' that crap Monday. No coffee!!!!:pissed: The surgeon told me yesterday that the reason I have to drink that stuff is to "clean out" my colon. I told him that I can do that with coffee.....I do it every mornin'. :rolleyes:

Same here like clock work around 9am

I just threw up :puke:

LOL, Bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wuss.

Try not to get the go lytly!!! and tim is right .Schedule it as early as you can because NOTHING solid to eat the day before and NOTHING after midnight.
I will try to get you the name of the prep i used this last time as it was not near as nasty.

Bob, why you had to have three done? :confused:

I dont know if i can handle all that . . . . . props to you guyses!

Delcolax is what they told me.

the actual is not bad at all. Its to prep for it the day before good luck

I also gotta get a cat scan done Thursday and got some more crap to drink for that! :pissed: My wife is makin' me do all this...it ain't my idea.

Gotta keep yo Pimp Hand strong old man :smokin:

Well hope eveything goes well, and hey better safe then sorry. She's just looking out for your well being

thats cuz she loves you. or...she's wondering how much longer she's gonna have to wait to collect on that insurance policy:D

She just wants to make sure I'm able to fill them vending machines. :smokin:

Checking on her retirement plan hahaha . . . . . only kidding salty I know her intensions are for the best of your health

Cancer runs in both sides of my family so my doc recomended i have my 1st one at 40 an every 4 years instead of 5 years.
The stuff i had to drink was move prep i think.

What bothers me the most is......

This "procedure" will be done at a facility that has a huge sign out front that reads, "LSU Medical Center". The surgeon and the anesthesiologist are LSU grads and are HUGE Tiger fans. I'm in and out of that hospital every day runnin' my mouth about LSU.

I ain't lookin' forward to this. :shaking: :help:

They are not bad. Have had 3 of them myself. The prep, Go Lytly, is horrible.

:eek: Thats not good for you :rotfl:

CARMA SALTY CARMA. I am sure they are going to have a grand ole time with your boomer sooner bum hole!!!

Just don't ask for a second opinion! ;)

Sent from my EVO

I've been friends with the anesthesiologist for years. He told me yesterday that they're using a "special mix" to sedate me. He said, "You won't feel anything during the "procedure", and, if you wake up, there won't be any adverse effects. Only thing is.....you're gonna go around hollerin' 'GEAUX TIGERS' for about a week." :eek:

Good luck..you'll feel like a real man when its over...gotta have em done, always get it checked as bad as it may be.

Have fun with that one....

I'm chunking a deuce as we speak!

but we're typing... :rolleyes:

I'm talkin to myself. Trying to get through this. It's a tough one!

Holler for a priest and some holy water that's what i do at work

Just do it and quit cryin'....;)

If you remember all my health problems earlier this year, just get it done and stay healthy.

The only thing I have not recovered from is the fact that I had to put my family through a team of doctor's telling them that I only had a 10% chance of surviving.

Having 12 inches of my colon removed, a month on life support and $400K in doctor bills means nothing to me when my eyes open every morning and I see my kids and grand baby......oh yea, and the wife also...:D

You will survive......I did.....by the grace of GOD.....:)

:D

Blue, well put sir

Dang, they cut you no slack! As if the "procedure" wasn't bad enough. :help: Then you have to wait and fart for the doctor (or nurse)! :eek: The gonna try and make a complete mockery out of ya arn't they? :p

I had one. My dr was old school. He was just shy of retirement. No sedative no pain meds. I was wide awake. It was the worst pain I ve ever felt. Cold sweats. Little white lights. Two nurses holding me down. It was horrible. When I threatened to put his teeth down his throat he stopped the procedure. Needless to say I ve never seen him sense. Bad very bad ordeal. So make sure they sedate u.

don't blow an o ring!

Good luck Salty...we'll all prob have to do this at some point in time...depending on the new health care system...may have to get the Iranian Doctor Probe special, but pelosi's family will get top notch health care...sorry ranting. "just pass it so we can see what in it"...:pissed:

im glad i still got 15 years before im obligated to, salad anyone?l lol

I'm 35 and have the privilege to have had many of them since I was 17. The worst part is the prep the day before. My sister had one done today. Last year they found colorectal cancer and removed it in November. A little bit of discomfort from this test is nothing compared to what I've seen her go thru.
