Make sure you drink the whole gallon. I was given that Go-Lightly and it was terrible. I would like to know who can drink the whole gallon. It's impossible. | |||

Yeah, and the 5th time isn't any better than the 1st time. | |||

I have to drink 64 oz of Gatorade with Miralax mixed in together with a laxative. I did use a lidocaine gel (on my own intiative) for the more sensitive region. __________________________ | |||

I got to use the two small jugs this last time. Yay, until I found out I had to get up at 3 a.m. to drink the second one. | |||

My third one is scheduled for April 3rd. I'm kinda getting used to it by now. Yes, the prep absolutely sucks. Get the Preparation H wipes. They really help. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" | |||

I have had three so far. Last time around, I drank the Gatorade solution, waited until I was completely empty as it were, then split a bottle of Chardonnay with Mrs. Blundell. Definitely helped my morale. The key, as my Gastro Doc pointed out, is to drink a clear white beverage. Gin and vodka also work. | |||

My 2017 colonoscopy prep was orders of magnitude better than my 1997 colonoscopy prep, my 2009 colorectal surgery prep, and my 2013 colorectal surgery prep. Two examples: Additionally, the 2017 colonoscopy sedation drug is much better. I was waking up while being wheeled on the gurney between the colonoscopy exam room and the recovery room.

Got those. This is my third one. The first was in Korea. I got an enema, a Valium and then they started. Everytime the probe hit a corner, I thought it was going to go through. They finally gave me a spare scope to look at my insides with them to distract me. That was fun. Not. __________________________ | |||

This is what my doc has me do. Been on the 3 year plan and graduated to the 5 year plan after my 3rd procedure.

Had my 4th one last year. after the first one, I learned to back off the solid foods a couple of days beforehand. I also learned to pat, not wipe. While the prep is a PITA, colon cancer is very treatable, if caught early. My BIL died at age 46 of colon cancer and left behind a beautiful family. Watching him go through it, was so heart-breaking.

My father has Crohn's disease, so he gets them a lot. In years past, several times a year. What he says matches the above, they've improved a great deal. When he started with them, they were doing them with him wide awake, watching it all on the tv. ![]() _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

Thank you P-220, Yes, very treatable. I go every 2 years because my colon is a polyp factory. I've had over 15 removed over 6 years. 3 have been pre-cancerious. Listen to your Doctor on this one. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" | |||

My 1st was last Dec, the prep was as expected. I was glad to be put out for the procedure, woke up and it was over. I think I’ll do better next time. I didn’t Like the thought of it, better than 6’ under though. | |||
