My Excellent Colonoscopy - Part 2

In which we drive to the surgical center, get prepped for the procedure, talk with the doctor, and get medicated in a manner which wiped out memory of what happened next.

not absurd, I just mean that I think they should just put people under. Maybe you weren't able to. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. Yeah I'm a bit tired. I just thought if you were asleep it would make it easier for you.

Recovery was probably quicker without being upt totally under, and whatever it was they gave me was not in the least unpleasant.

I had a colonoscopy ten days ago.I drunk phosphosoda the day before, and the next day the doctor did it but through my stoma because my ass was amputated on 19/09/06. I was sleep and didn´t feel anything.

The colonoscopy was normal.

I´m sorry but i´m spanish and my english is poor.

They asked me not to show any other patients as I walked to the procedure room. I asked the doc if he minded when he came into the room, and he said he had no problem with it. They surprised me by being so cool about it.

Just had my first colonoscopy on February 5, and believe it or not, I'm 23 years old (24 next month). I've having a few symptoms including abdominal pain, rectal bleeding and bowel habits. They found one polyp (4 mm), but it wasn't cancerous. Thank Lord!!

i'm 28 and i'm going through this for the first time. currently trying to get through the 4L liquid death prep. thanks for making this! it feels good to know i'm not the only one who has to go through this! tho i have severe panic disorder so my psych has asked i be fully sedated...i have no complaint with that!

I had my colonoscopy today. I watched this series this weekend during preperation and it did make me feel a bit. The actual procedure is nuts. They sedated me without me knowing it. They said 'you'll feel a weird stingy feeling all around your body in a few seconds' Next thing I realize is me waking up in the recovery ward. I also learned I had zero polyps, which is great news. Again, thanks for the vids, I speak for a lot when I say I appreciate it. cheers!

Thanks a lot for this. I'm having my first ever colonoscopy today (I'm 29), and I'm kinda terrified. I watched your videos 3 times already, and I feel better...

You're cool.

I am very curious to know why doctor number one didn't make it crystal clear as to why you were having a colonoscopy...just my nursey brain at work...if he saw 'something' he should have told you.

Thanks for posting these- they were great before my first ever colonoscopy. It wasn't that bad- at the center, I had a lot of fun playing with the heart monitors they had on my chest: if you tense up suddenly, they all beep at once, hehehe. Way to go!

I lost my bottom one year ago due to a breast in my colon. Now i´m 37 and my life is "normal", but i have threemonthly a blood test and Magnetic resonance or ultrasound scaning or t.a.c. or p.e.t.

Actually i´m right, and you?

good luck
