Yup, the prep is the worst part, if you get a pretty bedside nurse like I did watch what you say in the recovery room, I swear my wife does not have a sense of humor. You will be fine....
The first round of prep is done. The Draino they gave me only requires two 5-ounce doses, followed by lots of water/clear liquids. It didn't taste good, but it wasn't horrible. Round two (second dose) starts soon. CD PS: I'm hungry!
Way better than my last one. I had to drink ~ a gallon of the stuff and of course the VA didn't spring for the flavored kind. Came out to 8oz every 15 minutes until it was gone. I'm due for another one in a couple of years.
Since drinking that Tang Koolaid is no longer on my bucket list, I think I'll pass on my next scheduled colonoscopy or get some other concoction [that I'll never drink again] to ease myself into that mode again.
Due to some "digestion issues" in my 20's I have to get scoped every so often. It aint so bad. Best few hours of sleep I get all year!
The stuff I had was called Prepopic, and it was two 5-ounce doses. Ask you doc if he can prescribe that. CD
I slept like crap last night, but got there before sunrise for my anal probing. Wouldn't it be funny if some endoscopy center made their offices look like a flying saucer. So, I'm laying on a gurney, waiting my turn, and I hear a familiar voice through the curtain. It was a friend of mine -- an anesthesiologist. He is a fellow car enthusiast, although his rides are way out of my league. Over the last ten years, he's owned three R8s (one V8 and two V10s), three or four GT3 RSs, a McLaren MP4-12C and a few other knick-nacks. He has a great vanity plate on his Cayenne GTS... SANDMAN. He administered the anesthesia. Small world. Feeling pretty good, now. CD
SANDMAN, many possible meanings but at least he was not doing the scope too. Glad you slept well, here is to good results and stay out of the flying saucers.
How you feelin' today, CD. I still have a couple of years before my maiden rectal violation. Can't wait.
CRAP...you walk into BMW/MINI dealers....think you should know the feeling!! The difference.. they (the doc's and nurses) use lube and usually give you good drugs at the Dr's office...the car dealer...coffee and a stale doughnut (if you are lucky)...and the co-pay is usually MUCH higher!! PS I usually joke with the wife i pick a female doc cause they have smaller fingers and a "womans" touch!! :ihih:

I will have to remember this. I had my first one this year, had to drink the 2 gallons of sewer water, swore I'd never do it again.
Wonder whoever came up with that product name was a genius... "This is the stuff you take before we take the picture..."
Got that right. My stuff was euphemistically called "Go-litely" and as I'm sure others can attest, there is nothing "light" about it! :blush2:
