Has anybody on here ever had a "colonoscopy"?
Question:
Answers:
the preparation you dread can be done several ways. GoLytely is a standard salt solution and a typical prep. It cleans your colon out by stimulating diarrhea and you can expect 15-20 bowel movements as you finish the gallon jug of GoLytely. Towards the end, your bm is clear fluid, and you're done and ready. Other preps are are magnesium citrate or fleet's phosphosoda. they essentially do the same thing with lower volume required to drink. Finally, some people experience nausea as they are trying to drink all this and so an antiemetic is somtimes prescribed (eg reglan). Be sure to not skimp on the prep, as if the gastroenterologist cannot see the sidewalls of your colon, you'll have to repeat the whole process. Hope it goes well.

I had one recently and I dreaded it for years and put it off untill everyone was bugging me about it. It is really important that you have this done. I have to say it wasnt bad at all. I preparation is a little touble some but not terrible. Schedule the colonoscopy in the morning and the day before take off early. I was back in my office that afternoon , happy it was over. Went to dinner with friends that evening. Its really no big deal. All my dread was really for nothing. Remember its important.
I think these people had some real good advice.just pray about it and remember God will be with ya.capitalized God this time..thanks for the correction by the way.your such a sweetie..anyway..just remember God won't put you through anything you can't handle.you'll be OK.people do this procedure everyday.
