Colonoscopy is a procedure that can help your doctor detect a number of
problems within the gastrointestinal tract. It’s best to get this procedure
done, even if you do not feel any pain or have any symptoms, just as a
precaution.

OMG, I am having one tomorrow morning! I am very nervous, but because I had
a close friend recently pass away likely for not getting checked soon
enough, and I feel this is for my life’s sake! I keep hearing the prep is
the worst, YUCK!!!!

drlest says:

Yes, my brother works for a GI doctor and part of the procedure is that
they actually pump air into your colon to view it better. So yes, you will
have a lot of gas/air to expel!

oofahman says:

I’m due for mine. Not worried. As long as I’m out like a light, that’s fine
with me 😉

speedypt says:

The worst part of a colonoscopy is the prep….taking the laxatives and
sitting for hours…don’t plan anything else for that afternoon or evening
before. Don’t wipe—use a bedet or spray water to clean up after each
movement.
