Mission successful, good for another five years. Food in my belly finally. Life is good. If you're over 50 I recommend this procedure, even though it really sucks.

motherfuckers can do knee surgery using itty bitty bits and pieces through a damn tube in one spot, and they still have to shove a camera on the end of a hose up your ass to look for cancer.....
jesus i hope they figure something else out here in the next few years before i get to that age... |

I have had a few in my life first one only a valium watched the whole procedure on the monitor along with the doc. Worse part is always the cleansing.
I have had a camera shoved up my penis 3 times with only a local. Watched it's travel into my bladder along with the doctor and nurse. Had internal hemorrhoids tied off with rubber bands done using nothing. Woman doctor. I'll take door #3 for the colonoscopy any time. |

It is not the procedure that sucks, it is the 12 hours of drinking a fluid that makes you shit like there is no tomorrow every 15 minutes. Compared to the preparation, the procedure is easy. |

At 37 I got colon cancer, had surgery, and then 6 months of chemo. If it meant I would never get cancer again, I would have a colonoscopy every month! Tell me about it...49 here. If I was scoped at 48 I would be better off. I am dealing w/ exactly what you had. |

If you've never had one, don't sweat the camera up the ass. It's the prep that sucks. I felt like the space shuttle launching off a toilet. Of course you get to have fun farting on everyone all day long.  There are a lot of new preps that are not nearly as bad as the old way of which you speak. I just had my first a couple months ago. DR gave me a script for SUPREP. Insurance didn't cover the $75, but he swore I would thank him later. It's a 2 step process. 5pm the night before, mix with one bottle of water and drink 2 more. Shit for an hour. Go to bed and sleep for the night. Get up at 5am and repeat. Finished shitting at 6:30am. Go to 10am procedure. Then got propafol, so slept through it like a baby. I'm good for 10 years. |

If they are able to put humans on the moon, they should be able to find a better way to do this procedure without shoving a camera up someone's asshole. Cuz while they are looking for polyps, they remove them at the same time. 20 fuvking minutes big fucking deal. When you're done you get a snack and you get to let go a giant fart. Three yrs ago I had my first. The found 3 polyps and one was large and pre cancerous. This time they found 2 very small inconsequential polyps and removed them. Just had mine two weeks ago. Goid for you OP. I too advocate for this procedure. The peace of mind alone is worth it. M Man up faggits and get a tube up your ass. It could save your life. |

There is a new test being validated right now, and it only requires a stool sample.
It has detected both cancerous and benign polyps / tumors that escaped colonoscopy. It has a much lower detection threshold and also much lower false positive and false negative rates. They are saying that in less than 10 years the butt-scope will be no more. |

Out like a light and wake right up. ETA Spelling Really sucks? Nah, it sucks a bit. That's about the most you can say on it. And even it the worst parts are the prep and IVs. The prep consists of a few minutes of tasting something you don't like and not eating. And then you sit on the toilet for a bit. Probably browsing arfcom on a tablet, phone, or laptop, just like you would be doing anyways. Then they poke you with a needle. Try not to cry. Then you go to sleep, you wake up and eat. Like falling off a log. I've had 10 of them. If you're scared of a colonoscopy, I promise you, it's not scary, it's boring and routine. |

I had one a couple of months ago. For me, the hard part was getting cold. I froze and I like the cold. Everything came back fine on this one, thankfully. |

For me the prep was a walk in the park when compaired to the time I ate tacos from a street vendor in Mexico.
The bad part was while still under and as I was wheeled into the room to recover. I said something like "My wife has a gun so you better treat me right" The wife ha ha ha at that. BUT she was packin. |

Did mine 6 weeks ago...Doc used a less traumatic prep. It didnt hit til after 8 and i was in bed by 10..maybe 20-25 min on the toilet total Same here, didn't see what all the fuss is about. Better than dying of colon cancer like some of my family members. |

52,doc is begging me to have one. Can't afford it even with good insurance.I get to see people with those endoscopes up their assholes every day. those things are looong.
You'd figure most insurances would rather pay for this than pay for cancer treatment...aetna covered mine 100% |

Mine was going to cost $1700 at the hospital. At a "free standing facility" my cost was$60 co pay. Apparently being a "free standing" gastric/digestive center was critical to BCBS. Find a way. Get the procedure. |
