Colonoscopy
 

Just picked up prep liquid for colonoscopy. Procedure is Monday. So excited I can hardly wait.

Enjoy sitting on the shitter for the next few hours. Bring a book or a laptop into the bathroom with you.

Nothing quite like having a garden hose with a camera shoved up your asshole.

Bore-scope and pullover...

won't this aggravate your high heart rate?

Had mine in June. The prep drink taste-wise wasn't horrible, but you have to drink so much over so many hours that it got really old fast. I could barely finish the last two glasses.

I stopped "shitting" (basically squirting clear liquid out of a hose) by midnight or so. And the procedure itself was nothing. Ate like a mofo afterward.

Yeah they knock you cold for the procedure so it's not a big deal at all. I don't know what they used to knock me out with, but I woke up ornery. (At least that's what my wife tells me)

I guess I was raising all kinds of hell wanting to get out of there and was starting to pull out my IV so I could leave. I don't remember any of it. After hearing that I felt bad, so I went down to the hospital the next day and apologized to the nurse in person. She was laughing about it and said different drugs affect people in different ways. :hmmm:

You having problems or just routine check ?

Neither. He just likes it.

Good luck on Monday.


Hopefully the mods will have Clay banned by then.

Evidently not

51 years old. The waiting is over.

Ouch

My prayers would be answered. Clean my shit out and chase the CP shit out.

Loochy does not lie. Also, Loochy is my favorite poster. No homo.

RIP theelusiveeightrop's bunghole.

i can't imagine any doctor would want you doing an elective procedure with sedation with an undiagnosed elevated heart rate issue

I am losing my water tight seal.

Could be true. During pre op the nurses may put the kibosh on the procedure.

A cork with some super glue gel should seal you right up.

You always know what to say. XOXO

You can hire about anyone off of Craigslist to do that for you..some may even let him sprinkle so of that on their chest

Don't feel bad, I have to go in for a Cystoscopy on the 30th. Having a tiny camera shoved up my pee hole is not an appealing thing to have to look forward to! :eek:

Post the video online.

It will only burn while you pee for 2 or 3 weeks...

My roids weep for you. The worst is the prep. Once you get started, please try to keep within 30 feet of the can or you will have some serious clean up to do!

I know this is not comparable to what you are experiencing Ed. My prayer for you continue.

That's the old prep juice. I did the new one in June. Two 8ounce bottles that I had to drink 12 hours apart with lots of water. I liked the old way better. This new stuff cleaned me out so good that I had to eat yogurt and kefir for like a week to get some good bacteria back in my gut so I could shit right again.

Procedure is easy

Also I had a benign sessile polyp removed. I'm good for another 5 years

It all started with the colonoscopy, though!

Must've been. Mine was a gallon jug and I had to drink an 8 oz glass every 15 minutes until half of it was gone, wait an hour or two, and then repeat until it was all gone. Again, it wasn't so much the taste as I just got tired of drinking that stuff (and chasing it with orange Gatorade to stay hydrated and to help it go down).

As for not shitting right, after eating again it actually gave me some of the best shits I've ever had -- smooth as silk. I mean, I literally could tell my pipes were squeaky clean.

Yeah, I did that prep 10 years ago. Had to start at 9am the day before and shitted all day and night (was worried I wouldn't stop lol). Procedure was always on a Monday with that stuff so I didn't have to take two days off of work.

Now with the new stuff my appointment was on a Thursday morning at 11. I didn't start prepping till 4 pm Wednesday afternoon. And again 4am Thursday morning. So I was able to work that day.

Glad I did it.

Make sure they use the new smaller camera.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...01ecf403e8.jpg

I started prepping at 4 p.m. the day before, didn't have to do anything the morning of. Procedure was at 9 a.m. or thereabouts. Took the whole day off. Felt I deserved it.

i've had a few of them.
when you wake up, ask them if they found your car keys. that always seems to make them smile a little.
sec

Look at us, hanging out on a football board comparing colonoscopies.

God, I'm old.

.....older.,,at least that's what I tell myself.

and ya, I've got to do it pretty soon.

Yeah, pretty pathetic lol but I had some pruning done on me that could have turned to cancer eventually so I'm glad I got it done.

:thumb:

I got a completely clean bill of health, so I'm glad I did it too -- and glad I don't have to do it again for about 10 years.

I can no longer read or hear the word 'colonoscopy' and not think of how my dad calls it after his first a few years back...

"Butt-scope"

a noun. a verb. Simple, and to the point.

I'm waiting to see a video online of my tiny non-erect wiener being abused by an Asian doctor with a camera and three chuckling nurses who have signs pointing to my dingus and anus.

I've had a catheterization with my eye surgery and I remember waking up and them sliding the long tube out and me pissing blood for about 4 days. I also had the clap in Rio in 1987 and that hurt like a MFer as if someone took an icepick to my peehole.

They are supposed to be giving me numbing gel for 30 minutes prior.

Now there is a real positive post. :eek:

You are entitled Ed. :D

Be sure don't forget to stick that Gerbel up there right before you go in...

There is a small light on the end of the wand or hose (or whatever the proper name is for the torture device that goes up your ass).

If the bulb burns out part way through the procedure, they have to reel it back out, replace the bulb and then start over.

The drugs only last for so long........And if they wear off in the middle of the procedure.....

Not a memory you want to hang onto.

(I don't understand how anyone could enjoy anything going up there. That's a one way street IMO. NTTAWWT)

Some of us might not ever need a colonoscopy.

Seriously, here's a recent article from fivethirtyeight.com that details a more pleasant alternative for many of us.

Colonoscopies fall into my "That was how it happened 20 years ago" category. It's a waste of $5500 and completely unnecessary. It's been shown over and over that a check of blood in the stool and a sigmoidoscopy will find any abnormalities.

It has also been shown that the prep drinks are really hard on the kidneys.

"Doc! I have a sore throat!"

"I have a cure for that!"

"Doc! I took the medicine and my sore throat is gone, but I have anal bleeding!"

"We have a pill for that, too!"

Tomorrow will be the worst part.

So the prep isn't the most fun thing in the world but they discovered a bunch of stuff in my ascending colon last year and it gave me a chance to get it all removed surgically. Went in and cut a couple feet of intestines, sewed the ends together and three days later everything is working good as new again.

They told me without the procedure there was an extremely high likelihood that I would have had some real issues with the cancer starting right around this time.

So don't die a stupid and preventable death. Go get a camera jammed up your butt as soon as possible!

Just finished the first dose of prep for my scope in the a.m. Let the fun begin...

Heh, my brother also in the Cancer treatment Center in Tulsa. Just got off the phone with him. He's doing the colon blast right now !

You're not alone buddy !

Routine check ?

Yessir.

Crossed 5-0 recently, the wife who's a endoscopy nurse didn't let me wait long to get scheduled. Between her and your past thread and the great Lonewolf Ed it makes it hard to put off.

Good luck kid!

Man. That potion doesn't take long does it..

Good to hear, Hope all goes well .

Uh, yeah.

And flushed Alex Smith too. What a great week!

Got a picture of your nurse and the camera they will be using for your procedure. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3c66fe7d4b.jpg

Come here, sonny.

Only one year and four months late. Keep up the fine work.

She's still inside.

On this note, I had the procedure done last year, and it was the first time I've ever had general anesthesia.

Holy cow, that stuff is magical. They said, "We'll start the anesthesia now", and I said, "Okay", and then they said, "We're done. You can go home now", and I realized I was in a different room. Freaky.

What's really magical is not even the doctors giving it to you can explain how it works.

Just one of those things as we age.

Thankfully you are asleep now. I couldn't imagine what it would have been like to go through it when they didn't put you out.

Is it the stuff where you wake up pretty quickly like with an operation or is it the stuff more like you get with dental work where you are groggy and goofy as you come out of it?

They told me that I'd feel slow and groggy for a few hours afterwards, but that didn't happen at all. As soon as I was conscious, I was running around like a Yorkshire Terrier. I don't know if I was an outlier or if they're overly conservative in their warnings, but I went from 0 to 100 percent instantaneously.

When I had shoulder surgery last year, I came to almost instantly. Like you said, one second they are fussing around in the OR and the next, you're awake in the recovery room. On the other hand, it took a lot longer to come out of it when I had my wisdom teeth out and I kind of made a fool out of myself in the process. :facepalm:

I was actually pretty worried about that. I've seen those youtube videos and I didn't want to start talking about my secret second family or the incident in Terre Haute. Apparently I didn't.

I have a consult for this next week and, it's dumb, but this is a bigger fear for me. LMAO
