Not looking forward to tonight.

But the large breakfast tomorrow after the colonoscopy is always a feast.

Good night all

Oh I know that feeling all to well....

Been there, done that. Good luck! I'll drink one in your honor tonight.

Good luck tomorrow. Remember, pat, don't wipe.

Colon cancer is very treatable, if caught early.

I lost my BIL at age 46 to Colon cancer.

Cancer Sucks!

Gawd, Suprep is vile tasting stuff!!!

But P-220 raises some excellent points.

Good luck...

Who do you thank for the timing? I can't imagine this procedure during Christmas. Talk about a gift of coal in your sock!

Heavy hangs the head of the man on the throne!

I'm sure everything will come out OK.

Merry Christmas!

Remember, nothing too spicy tomorrow after the procedure.

Stack up the Reader's Digests, put on the bicycle safety helmet, fasten commode seat belts. .... you re about to start the Eticket night ride!

Woohooooooooo!

Not my favorite thing to do in the world!

Hope it "Comes out" OK.

Good luck! I've had 3.

Had mine last week. When they give you the milk of amnesia (propofol) you'll sleep like a baby. Piece of cake.

Just remember to tell the anesthesiologists, give me just a little less than they gave Michael.

I had mine two years ago and for some reason I woke up twice during and it wasn't a pleasant feeling.

Well I have been on Vacation since Nov 29th. Had a bunch of vacation days that must be taken. I am a truck mechanic in a large tin and concreate building in the San Francisco Bay Area with no heat. The surgery center has heat. Plus with everything else my $2500 max out of pocket has been met so Insurance should cover this 100%. Kind of like a Christmas present.

This was my third one. Had upper endoscopy also to look at my Barrett's esophagus.

I always tell the Doctor to make sure he does the upper one first in case they forget to change out the scope. Once you are under who knows what they do. The Gastroenterologist and the Anesthesia Doctor probably split the money and use the same scope.

Barrett’s Esophagus is doing well and receding. Doctor found one polyp and it was removed to be cultured. Last colonoscopy was 5 years ago where they also found one Tubular Adenomas thus the five year retest.

Please don’t let frequent heartburn go uncheck. It Can Lead to Barrett’s Esophagus which in rare instances advance to Esophageal cancer. I have been on a prescription dose of 40mg Prilosec daily for five years.

Thanks for all the well wishes.
