Wouldn't be the first time...You do know they reuse those scopes and I'm not kidding. The scope that will be inserted in your ### has been up many of ###.

Hmmm. Don't think so. They gave me the gas and I started counting backwards from ten. "Six" is the last thing I remember. Woke up feeling stretched out but otherwise pretty comfortable.Interesting to see if anyone was awake for at least part of the video tour like I was. I saw them spelunking and even removing a polyp (benign).
you only poo twice a week?I had my first one when I was 33. The doc was pissed off b/c he said I wasn't "cleaned out" enough for him to take a good reading. I was sent for the procedure because my bowels didn't move consistently - sometimes weeks between movements. So I took the drink and chugged it down as I was supposed to do, but I barely went. I drank this stuff down and yet only went twice. The last time was sitting in the waiting room before the procedure. They put me under and did the scope, but couldn't really see anything. I was then sent in for a barium eniema and scope, yet that didn't produce any results either. Eventually I just gave up and started testing different laxatives and herbal remedies. To this day I still go maybe once a week - twice is a great week!
Turning 39 this month and seeing this thread reminds me that I should probably do something about this again.
not this last time but I underwent the scope back in 2000 and was awake for it. Kind of cool to see but I'll gladly sleep through it.Interesting to see if anyone was awake for at least part of the video tour like I was. I saw them spelunking and even removing a polyp (benign).
they woke me up towards the end and asked me to take a deep breath for a final push. It was kinda cool watching a litlle from that point.FUBAR said:not this last time but I underwent the scope back in 2000 and was awake for it.

It'll be three days off from even a beer from what I understand. I'm old.

Nice. Good to know.

On a good week. For the last month it's been once a week, and thats with laxatives. I've got issues, no denying that - but other than this I feel healthy and I'm active. So it's not hurting me, at least from what I can tell. I thought it was my diet before (ate some fast food, pizza, and soda), but I've changed that this last month where I'm eating healthier, replaced soda with water, and lost 20 lbs. Yet, I can only "poo" when I take a laxative. If I don't, then I can easily go 7-10 days with nothing - so I start the cycle over again with a laxative.VA703 said:you only poo twice a week?I had my first one when I was 33.

Avg, I guess. It's not like I clog up the toilet, or anything like that.how large are these once a week movements?
I got a headache and upset stomach and puked the night of mine. Combination of lack of caffeine, lack of sleep, the jungle juice, anesthesia, and stress over the procedure probably.I had a few beers and split two bottles of wine the night of my procedure.rockaction said:This borders on TMI, but prep tomorrow.

I was a little light headed when I first came out of it but had no lingering effects.

Have you ever had a salad?Avg, I guess. It's not like I clog up the toilet, or anything like that.how large are these once a week movements?
I've been like this since I was a kid and haven't thought anything about it. Typically once/twice a week is normal for me.
Sure do. In fact the entire month of March was salad with a chicken breast for dinner. I have taken fiber supplements many times over the last few years, and even included a bowl of Mini-Wheats or Raisin Bran to make sure my fiber content was up to par. I eat healthy and was never really obese (heaviest I've been was 222 @ 6'). I'm now at 202. I've been taking a one-a-day Men's Vitamin for over a year. I try not to eat out too much, but my wife and I fell into a bad place in our relationship which had me eating more than I should have last Fall/Winter. By the end of this month, I expect to be back to my normal weight of 195. I eat fruit, vegetables, chicken, hamburgers, and pizza - nothing out of the ordinary.

I haven't had one in a while, but I remember I documented mine on here. I guess it was lost to the Great Purge. I forget who wrote it, but out of the entire thread, the greatest line of the whole thing is something I still quote to this day. Someone said that the drink you take the night before will clear you out. Everything you've ever eaten will be flushed from your body. To which someone replied, "Funny. I don't remember eating lava and razorblades."
Awww, man. I didn't want this. Six o'clock, here I come.I looked at my first poop after the procedure to see if it resembled a ham, egg and cheese sandwich. It's not often that you know the order it should come out in. I was disappointed in the result. Just looked like poop.

Had mine today,.peace of mind indeed. The prep is what iti is, but the procedure itself is easier than a trip to the dentist.Clean "slate". No polyps. Next one not for another 10 yearsI hope the news was good...Prep starts today :XI'm up next Friday :X
Good...it's really nothing. Besides the peace of mind I really didn't mind a good flushing out. The Gatorade mix had no added taste. I had never been put under before but it was no problem. I was tired and it was a nice nap. Such a crazy job to have but thank god there are people that do it. It's nothing to them so it shouldn't be for you either.Monday for me. This thread has helped a lot with anxiety.
go easy brohan if you are not backed up from something like narcos or whatever miralax can really do a number on you i had my hips replaced and it did a number on me even when i was on narcos and morphine so that is all i am saying take that to the bankConsidering the miralax prep just to clean me out - how stupid of an idea is this?
I'm only doing half the recommended dosage and over a longer period of time - I'll be fine, right?go easy brohan if you are not backed up from something like narcos or whatever miralax can really do a number on you i had my hips replaced and it did a number on me even when i was on narcos and morphine so that is all i am saying take that to the bankConsidering the miralax prep just to clean me out - how stupid of an idea is this?
