I called the obgyn and she won't do surgury without the colonoscopy.
The nurse at my gp is trying to get me a referral to a general surgeon that my husband went to. He is young, good lucking, but not personable and one of those in and out guys. I don't know if anything will come of it, especially with my phobias that have to be addressed.

The prep I had to take in 2004 was nasty. Drinking salt water for 5 hours straight (which is what it tasted like) has the tendency to cause vomiting, which I can't handle. It did the job though. The reason I mention this is because they're supposed to have pills now which I imagine would be much more palitable than a gallon of sea water.
I've heard good things about the pills from a few different people.
My doc is old and ugly but he's one hell of a nice guy and has great bedside manner, I was lucky to find him as I've had bad luck the last 6 or 7 years with docs (mostly neuros).
Again, I hope things work out for you and I'm truly sorry that you're suffering so much, wish there's more I could do, you seem like such a nice person!!
