Yes, I did have to ask because they said some insurance companies don't cover it. I didn't care since they weren't expensive, but my insurance did cover everything.
Just started my colonoscopy prep

You were the one suggesting you could schedule the procedure at your convenience. You weren't serious were you? 🤣
I didn't say that at his convenience. I don't know if he had the option to choose a convenient time. I also put "/lucky"
Then when I agreed with you when I said "i know, I've had 2" indicating I understand how it works, you chose to think I'm arguing with you.
I take a different route,
If I call a plumber to check my pipes, he doesn't ask me to dig the hole to get to the pipes, so why would I do all the hard work for my doctor to have a clean workspace?
Get in there and look around, if you need a better look, buy better equipment, do whatever is necessary to do your job, just don't expect me to do the job you hack.

The drink was by far the worst. If you can do a pill ask about it as been discussed in this thread.
I’m having one on Friday and start the prep tomorrow. Have to take 8 Dulcolax pills, one bottle of Miralax, and some Milk of Magnesia (but not all at once). My last colonoscopy was in 1995 and it was a truly horrible experience. I had to drink a bottle of sodium citrate (?) along with a bunch of other stuff and was pissing out of my raw ass by day 2. The doctor gave me no drugs or anything and it was terrible. To add insult to injury he said, “I didn’t see anything abnormal, but I’m scheduling you for a barium enema tomorrow morning“ so I had to go another day without eating.
I have good friend who has a family history of colon cancer with both parents and he has to get scoped every year. Said it’s a lot better now and they give you some good drugs.

My stomach feels surprisingly good in between the devastation every 25 mins or so. Just hard to believe there’s anything left up there.
Until you wake up in the middle of the procedure. Then it's not so easy peazy. It's a bit uncomfortable.
I had the giant jug of liquid I had to consume over a few hours.
Very jealous of the people that just had a couple vials.
The big jug tasted like liquid granite of something. I tried drinking fast and plugging nose, nothing helped.

trust me, there's more.
Given my awful family history, it wouldn’t surprise me if I have to get scoped every 5 years instead of 10. So that’s helpful for the future.
Yeah after awhile it was just straight up Liquid for me.
i remember it tasting like warm salty tub water.
They found a small polyp on mine. It was benign. Said I need to be rechecked in 8 years because of it. But I don't have family history.
Maternal grandpa and mom both had stage 3, sister had precancerous polyps removed this summer.
So one per generation. The true genetic dna relationship is about a 3% chance i was told.
You’re already committed but unless i had symptoms i’d have requested the cologuard vs the scope.
Don't be surprised if you are craving a ciggy after the procedure.
That he knows of. Follow the doctor's recommendation.
They give you full anesthesia or just sedatives and remain awake during the procedure? Probably due for one in the next year or two.
OP… whatever you do… don’t fart unless you are on the toilet.
I also used the pills too so have no reference with the drink. However, the pills and water wasn’t a big deal it was the hours running to the toilet. And… the actual procedure I was out so that was a breeze as well.
Insiders hack: just drink a ton of doctor pepper for 48 hours beforehand and skip breakfast. They'll never know the difference.
There are a lot of colon doctors you wouldn't want to be sedated around. I'll just leave it at that. Sorry to say.
Mrs a was an rn at an endoscopy center for a while pre Covid. Every quarter or so they’d get some lunatic nova woman who wanted to have a “natural” procedure. Which is to say no anesthesia.
In each case, that lasted about 12 seconds.
Not kidding.

I wish I could do it every year. Clean out the system. Get a day off work. Eat a massive breakfest after while still kinda high. Sleep.
F#ck ya.
