From: Hachiroku ハチロク on 30 Oct 2009 18:46 Had my first Colonoscopy today. They did an Endoscopy while they were at it. The worst part? The day before. You have to drink about a gallon of Polyethelyne Glycol. Whole bowel irrigation (polyethylene glycol with added electrolytes) is used for bowel preparation before surgery or colonoscopy and drug overdoses. It is sold under the brand names GoLYTELY, NuLytely, GlycoLax, Fortrans, TriLyte, Colyte, Halflytely, MiraLAX, Softlax and MoviPrep. DAMN! Every 15 minutes, here we go again!!! And the stuff tastes NASTY! I mixed it with the provided Cherry flavoring; I may never drink anything Cherry flavored again... So, I get to the Hospital somewhat nerved up, but not bad because I broke down and had one of my last remaining tobacco ciggies, and then they start an IV. Next thing I know, we're in the room, and they've given me the meds, but they don't knock you out. As a matter of fact, you're on your side, with a monitor in front of you so you can watch the whole thing. There are two turns in the colon that are a little, er, *TIGHT* and when they go around these it feels like cramps or like you're going to have a BM; the nurse I had pressed a little on my abdomen and the discomfort subsided. All in all, it was pretty neat! If anyone here is putting off having one done because of horror stories they have heard about how bad it hurts, rest your fears. I have a very low threshold for pain, and it was a piece of cake! Now, when the hemherroids from all the 'bowel cleansing' die down...

I actually had put it off for about 6 years because of the stories I had heard about it. Then I saw a friend of mine. Over the past ten years he went from just being Mike to looking like I was going to be reading his Obit any day now. I saw him a month ago, and he looked 'brand new' again! I asked him what was up. He went to a new Dr and the guy asked "Ever had a colonoscopy?" Six Drs and not one had suggested it. They did it and found he had had colon cancer, went in and removed the polyps, et, voila! Just thought I'd help out if someone was like me and putting it off from fear... Now, about the bowel cleansing...
