I had to mix the solution with 7up,otherwise there’re be no way I coulda
kept that stuff down.
It took me a long time to finally get the guts to allow a
colonoscopy….well beyond the recommended starting age….Imagine my
surprise at how relaxed and at ease I was, even viewing the procedure on a
color monitor. Being under a mild anesthetic made the time seen to fly
by……The Dr. commented that my “innards” were “as smooth as a baby’s
ass”…and I passed with surprisingly good results..He then said “See you
in five years”…….MEN: I RECOMMEND THIS PROCEDURE AS A LIFE-SAVING
blessing…..The only bad part was the PREP WORK (the day before),
drinking all that nasty laxative juice……yuk….But I lived thru
it….so can you……..woo hoo !!
Thank you for this very informative video,
I have look at a few videos,this is the best so far,Thank you.
I am alsp getting a colonoscopy in june since i have had colitis and it was
flairing up over the course of three monts from february though may. there
fore I had ferquent doctr visits and blood tests bso hopefully this
colonoscopy procedure can rule out anything bad and i willahve to drink
those things thaat I willnot find so tasting.
I had this twice when living in America and had to drink huge amounts of
laxative, I have to have another colonoscopy here in England and only have
to drink two small quantities of phosopho-soda 12 hours apart 7pm and again
at 7am for my 3pm treatment. I’m high risk and have one every 3 years, not
so terrible. Life savers for sure.
@ebonyladee Can I ask how it went? I’m having one towards the end of the
month and I can’t say I’m excited… Thanks.
I will be undergoing this procedure this nov. I am very nervous and
thinking of cancelling my app. But I must do this for my health. Thank you
so much for the info.
You docs can go ahead and use the lexicon – the ilium and ileo cecal valve
which dumps into the cecum and the ascending colon, thus coating and
obscuring the view of the colonoscope at its farthest reach. All these
terms are found on Wikipedia. I’m just an average citizen who studies her
body parts as they are affected by medicine. I learned the lexicon because
it’s part of critical thinking and self knowledge.
I have endomitrial cancer. Had a cat scan ,and it didnt show cancer
anywhere else. Doctor wants me to have a colonscopy just to be on the safe
side to make sure the cancer didnt spread to the colon.Before he does a
total hysterectomy.Im scared of having a colonscopy. I also have
agoraphobia,and have constant panic when i leave my home. I dont do well
without food .I tend to reach for food when i have panic. Very scared,when
i somewhere i want to leave due to panic attacks.
@smartdog3003 It’s a walk in the park
Everyone I know who’s had a colonoscopy has said the worst part of the
procedure was drinking the 4 liters of stuff. They said it tastes like alka
seltzer. For the procedure, they were so out of it they didn’t even feel a
thing.
i am going for this colonscopy soon. what they ask me is to drink Frotan
the day before the procedure at 1 go ( 1L 1 hr ie 4L in 4 hrs 6pm before
the day of procedure). Its abit differnt pre from you ?
I am a 26 year old female whom has been in the hospital for 3 days now. I
I’m so freakin scared!!!!!!!!!!
have a colonoscomy. Tomorrow. They had me drink a gallon of that stuff
tonight.
I have a colonoscopy in 6 hours and I just found out the ratins for the Dr.
on the internet and … I wasn’t wrong. He is a complete douche! Sigh… 2
people even said he misdiagnosed them! Ironically he is supposed to be one
of the best Drs. in Ontario.
i also have to do it to lol
i have to get one next month this looks scary :'(
My dad had a colonoscopy, he hated drinking that liquid, he blew it up and
lost like 10 pownds after that
Very informative.
Thanks for informative and detailed videos
This was the best video that I have watched. Thankyou for the great
production of this video & answers.
I also have to get this done and I am so nervous!!
Do NOT cancel your appointment or delay in any manner. IF by chance you
have a cancer, it needs to be dealt with immediately. This Colon procedure
is minor compared to not having it and letting the cancer kill you. Yes, it
can be a bit uncomfortable, but not nearly as bad as you’re thinking. This
procedure might even save you from surgery if the cancer is caught fast
enough. Remember, you’re not in this alone. Your family wants to keep you
around for a while longer.
As a male over 50 I was stupid to resist having the procedure done. After
having my first colonoscopy, I was told that my next one should be 10 years
from now. Get over the FEAR and get it done. The prep was the hardest part
of the procedure.
