Easy proceedure as you are out cold. Make sure they do endoscopy at the same time (especially if you have a heartburn condition) because that is a brutal proceedure if you have to do it while you are awake. Preparation sucks big time for colonoscopy but a man who engages in debate with our resident constitutional expert certainly should have a constitution that can weather the prep. (g).

LOL Be sure to have the colonoscopy and not the sigmoidoscopy. I finally threatened my husband with meals made exclusively with All Bran and flax seed if he didn't get in and do it. He did and he's been forever grateful.......they found, and removed three polyps. I, of course, did mine right after Dad died in '95. M PS Do you think we're giving out too much information here? -gg-

I'm in the process of scheduling my first colonoscopy. The procedures a snap. I fell asleep during my last one. The bitch is drinking the Coleyte the night before. Use the flavoring, get it as cold as you can, and try to gulp 8 ounces every 10 minutes. I got it all down in less than two hours this last time. I was very lucky with my colorectal cancer. I was bleeding from the rear 20 years ago, got three foot of my sigmoid colon out, and haven't had any since. The secret is a colonoscopy every three to five years. They remove any benign polyps, and cancer never gets a chance.

Coincidently, this was EMailed to me today: Colonoscopy quotes Colonoscopy - Examination of the inner surface of the colon by means of a colonoscope. A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies: 1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!" 2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?" 3. "Can you hear me NOW?" 4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" 5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married." 6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?" 7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..." 8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!" 9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!" 10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity." 11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?" 12. "God, Now I know why I am not gay." And the best one of them all... 13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there.
