well, Monday is here! I dont mind Tuesday, as I am getting good drugs, and will be asleep for the thing. The endo I will be awake for, but its just a gagging festival. Even with numb spray, I gag. Then they will blissfully knock my fanny into la la land.

its today that has my nerves on end. I have taken my dulcolax tabs, and will start on the miralax soon. My tummy is already bloated, swollen and tender. This should make me cry. I am not looking forward to drinking this stuff, but am looking forward to hearing some answers. I have given my DH a list of questions to ask the MD when its all done. I hope I will be too dopey to care.

Thanks for the hugs and prayers, they really do mean alot.

May you be too dopey to care, as you said, but may it all give you the best possible answers.

Hey Dej! Just had a routine endoscopy/colonoscopy the wk of Thanksgiving, so know how your'e feeling. I had to drink 1/2 gal of the Nulytly after taking 2Ducolax tabs. He also dilated my esophagus, as I was having a little trouble swallowing. I told my Dr before I was put out, that I didn't want to know where he was going or what he was doing. AYUP~ pure la la land.

Glad I had it done though, as he found a very small polyp and removed it.

Take care and and hope your results turn out ok.

Hi Dejibo,
Mine is scheduled for mid January, DH a week later. We have to drink two huge bottles of the same stuff that has always been around. No tablets, no enemas.

I always called this stuff a horse laxative. I thought things would change and that this drink I am to take, is not used anymore. I thought they said it was dangerous.

It's the stuff in the green bottle bought in the drug store or supermarket. I can't think of the name and the paper is out of reach at the moment.

Anyone here any news about the old stuff?

Good luck Dejibo. I pray everything is okay with the test, and the results.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you today, Dej. Hope the prep wasn't too bad and the results of the tests will be positive!

Its Tuesday. I survived the Miralax bombardment. it really is better than it used to be. That stuff they used to have you drink was so violent! Miralax is more gentle. Dont get me wrong, you MUST poop, but its not the explosive, think you are gonna see your shoes stuff that the fleets drink brings.

I survived. I am not happy, but I survived, so the worst is over. Now I get to go lay down, and let someone give me drugs. I have not just bad, but horrific IV access. Lets see how many pokes this takes to get a line.

Thanks for all the hugs, prayers, and well wishes. you guys rock!
