Good luck with both procedures and the prep. Just think -- it is a quick way of taking off a few pounds. I was allowed to mix my med with juice this time, and it was not quite as bad.

I'm glad you're getting it done. I was a big girl and did both ends last Oct.

I goofed up and ate too long the first time, so they couldn't do it. The whole "process of elimination" was much better when I did it according to the directions.

The exam was a piece of cake (oops, sorry, hope you don't like cake!) Of course, I was asleep, but there was just about no recovery time.

Good luck and have fun!

Don't forget to post the pictures!!!!

Hey Wiz ~~ Had to come back to tell you something. My DH's buddy was having a colonoscopy a while back and was asking my DH questions.

My DH told him to drink the Prep all down and then go for a nice long drive.

Of course, I grabbed the phone and set him straight. We still have a good laugh on that one.

*DH claims he would have told him the truth, but I guess the jury's still out on that one* Good luck tomorrow Wiz!

Good Luck Wiz
It's no fun top or bottom, but kudos for staying proactive. Keeping you in my prayers.

Good luck on your test tomorrow. Hopefully, your doctor will give you enough sedation that you won't remember a thing.

I have had 5 colonoscopies and 2 endoscopies. The last one I had I remembered my doctor telling me to stop talking and relax. It's the only thing I remembered and the next day when I asked him about it, he told me I was asking him for more drugs. It was hilarious!!! I had no clue I said that.

Good luck tomorrow Wiz, but I hope you're tucked up in bed now and not even reading this!

Good luck Wiz! I've been scoped through both ends too ! It sucks, the prep is the wost part! With 2 'Crohnies' in my house it seems like someone is always getting scoped !
I really hope you have an early morning appointment, it really stinks to have to wait around all day.

Sorry I saw this post late. I hope all goes well today.

Piece of advise from experience - While the Versed is awesome and takes a bit to wear off, you feel goofy and out of it but DON'T eat a nice steak afterwards. I learned that after my one and only upper. Never had the lower, not looking forward to it either.
