September 5, 20187 yr Have one scheduled in the am. I am currently shitting myself blind. And I’m starving. That is all.
September 5, 20187 yr Had my first in June. Weird shitting green Gatorade. Reading the report was cool, evidently they cram the hose up you first and then view the camera as they pull it out. Report says only six minutes.
September 5, 20187 yr Made my lawyer watch, cant trust doctors these days and I can trust lawyers either, so I handcuffed my lawyer to myself. They found the key durning the peak inside. Lol. You know about the ice cube trick?

For some reason, I think this stuff will get turned into some kind of reality game one of these days.... They're running out of plots...
September 5, 20187 yr My doctor hasn't mentioned this yet. I'll be 44 at my next physical. How old are you guys who've had this done?
September 5, 20187 yr Golytely. Username does not check out. I'm 57 and I've had 4 in 10 years. They found a dozen polyps and some Diverticulitis on the first one. The rest were follow-up. Nothing malignant, but I do fart a lot. Edited September 5, 20187 yr by RPM
September 5, 20187 yr Haven’t had one. Im 40 and the prospect of getting one of these is terrifying. You’d have thought medical science would have progressed to the point where this procedure was only necessary after some other, less invasive, screening method indicated a need.
September 5, 20187 yr There's nothing to fear unless they don't give you enough anesthesia. Then you will relive the breakfast scene from Alien in 3D.
September 5, 20187 yr Nothing to fear? Don’t they jam a tube up your ass and continue jamming it up there for quite an impressive distance? Fuck that
September 5, 20187 yr Had a foot of my colon removed this time last year, I'm good for a while. And to think I PAID to be treated that way.
September 5, 20187 yr Nothing to fear? Don’t they jam a tube up your ass and continue jamming it up there for quite an impressive distance? Fuck thatYou’re knocked the f out so the procedure itself is a non-issue. It’s the prep that blows.
September 5, 20187 yr My first VA colonoscopy they skimped on the prophwhateverthefuck and I was awake and responsive for a few minutes. I'm not kidding about the Alien breakfast scene analogy.
September 5, 20187 yr I woke up in the middle off mine somewhere along the pink tunnel. The doctors words were something to the effect of WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING AWAKE !!!! They could have sodomized me with a bull elephant and I doubt I'd have felt it.
September 5, 20187 yr When I woke up, I was swinging, doctors and nurses were bumping into each other, tripping over equipment, yelling at me to be calm. Guess when they put me under I went to a bad place. Chaos for a minute or two til I realized where I was at.

Colon cancer screening guidelines just reduced the screening age from 50 to 45. But it's probably good to have it done. I did - cancer.

Had one back around 1990 and I was awake at is really sucked. Had my next one and it was about 5 years ago........much better being knocked out.
September 5, 20187 yr I went straight from the procedure to a Mexican food restaurant and had the biggest burrito they had covered in jalapenos. Fuck their take it easy recommendations, I was hungry! I waited until I was 56, but the fears were unjustified. The IV into my hand was the only tiny bit of pain that day. Of course, the the night before was a shitfest.

September 5, 20187 yr 42 and I've had more than I can remember over the last 2 years (ulcerative colitis). Back in the versed days, I made a sport of staying conscious and following along on the screen. Once we entered the propofol era, unpossible. the prep sucks but not as bad as the first couple of times.
September 5, 20187 yr I have one scheduled for November. Last one 5 years ago went fine, I woke up, started asking the doctor questions, he said I can tell you but you won't remember. No doc, i'm totally fine, I will remember. So he answers my questions. I remember none of that, that's just what the wife told me. What I remember is waking up again and asking the wife, when is the doctor going to come in, and her busting out laughing. I think I had the prophonol or whatever it is that killed Prince and Michael Jackson. I was my dads designated driver for his a couple of years ago. He got some better stuff because he woke up very coherent, good to go.
September 5, 20187 yr I'm getting close to being due for my second one (first was at 55, all clear) and dread the hell out of it. Despite all the "precautions" taken during the prep, I managed to ruin a $1200 recliner and a sizable section of carpet. Golytlely my ass. (pun intended)

September 5, 20187 yr I'm just glad that we are all dear friends on here and can openly talk about sending a gopro up our butts.

September 5, 20187 yr Due to family cancer and polyp history I had my first one at 39. Doctor said she no longer considered me high risk so Im good until 50 so a few more years before I do anal again.
September 5, 20187 yr You’d think your ass would be sore after it’s over but somehow it isn’t. The prep sucks but the drugs make up for it. As I was waking up I had the best dreams and feelings I’ve ever had. Complete joy and contentment. I felt surrounded by friends and family and completely at peace. It seemed like a glimpse of heaven. I’m due for another one and I’m looking forward to it.
September 5, 20187 yr First one at 55, second one at 65 a few months ago. Clean as a whistle. Last one in 10 years at 75, after that they don't give a crap.
September 5, 20187 yr The best part is when you wake up there are people encouraging you to fart. That’s never happened before.
September 5, 20187 yr Author Crazy how you are awake but not really there. Sort of disconnected. I could feel what felt like the whole fist, but it didn't hurt. Initial pics looked clean as a whistle. More detailed report coming. Munched a delicious sub sandwich shortly thereafter.
September 5, 20187 yr Lady I work with said she and her husband had theirs done at the same time, 2 different docs, same facility. They were both in recovery trying to outdo one another with the poots.

September 5, 20187 yr Had mine done in 2012 @51, no issues found, woke up a little at the end. I didn''t think the prep was all that bad, starving myself was worse. Got tired of jello real fucking quick.
September 5, 20187 yr I turned 50 almost two weeks ago and my doctor has been asking me to get one for the last couple of years, but I keep resisting. I keep telling him I need someone to buy me dinner, flowers, mood music and lighting before I allow myself to be violated.
September 6, 20187 yr I'm 34 and have had 2 at this point. They found pre-cancerous polyps when I was 29, so I'm on track to have one every 2-3 years now.
September 6, 20187 yr Author You might just want to have your colon removed at this point. Colostomy bags aren't as bad as they sound.
