I've been at bedside for a hundred of these. Never heard of those pills but my advice is follow the directions to the letter. You do not want to be the guy that has to repeat the process because you didn't get cleaned out good enough. It happens, and people are not happy.
I took the pills last month. This was my first colonoscopy, but from what I hear it's better than trying to drink all that liquid. I heard the pills are expensive, but my insurance covered the whole cost. I just followed the directions and had no issues. No shit cramps associated with it. I found the whole process to be pretty easy and nothing to worry about.
I was worried about that. I laid down a couple towels and slept in long Johns with a thick towel wrapped around my waist.
Nope. Enjoy the propofol.Anyone ever go to this guy?

Versed is terrifying if you used to blackout regularly from drinking. Like "Oh god what did I say to the doctor when I was blacked out while being probed. Will my insurance keep me. Am I fired from my job." Black much of it out. But I'm reminded of something someone told me after a meeting once. "Fentanyl has no legs." I have to say he was right.
You should man up and do it like my pops did, no anesthesia. After which he said, “I’ll never do that again.”Anyone ever go to this guy?

My wife was a nurse at an asc, and one day some earthy crunchy woman came in insisting that she have her colonoscopy “naturally” (ie without anesthesia). They unsuccessfully tried to talk her out of it. She lasted about 45 seconds.
I was going to do the Cologuard but then read that if something was identified you had to do the real thing and it may not be covered. So I threw out the box and will have to schedule the main event. Not looking forward to it at all.
I was thinking of going this route, but read false positives and negatives results aren’t that uncommon so then you have to do the real thing anyways. I didn’t think the actual colonoscopy was a big deal.

I'm 32 years old. I had my first colonoscopy when I was 30 because of diverticulitis before this change. Son of a bitch. 8 should have never known this.
About to start them. How long does it take to kick in? Does this go all night? Second round is 5 hours before I am to arrive in the morning. Will I still be trying to crap or does the effect stop after 3-4 hours?
In the middle of that now. Just took the 1st half of the prep within the past 45 minutes.
It took me a while before they kicked in. Yes it does go all night and doesn't stop. I even had to go at the doctors office before my appointment. However, when you have to go it's mostly all water and you're done in 10 seconds. I never had to spend a long time on the toilet.
