Colonoscopy .... I am 50 in Aug and have yet to get it done. Am I way past due? How bad is the prep?

If they dim the lights and soft music starts playing, get out of there.

I never backlash, but each time I go fishing I practice fixing them, just in case I ever do really backlash.
This is what it was like for me! Lord have mercy I don’t think I had even stopped going and they slammed me on a table. Don’t remember the procedure at all. Was fishing that same evening. I will never forget laying in the floor of the bathroom praying that I could get back on the toilet fast enough!![]()
Just get the expensive butthole cream. You’ll be fine.

prep is worst part, just plan an evening of sitting on the porcelain throne because you will get a major clean out
Install one of those bidet attachments on your toilet. You can send a thank you note later.
I've done a few and actually don't mine the purging. Makes me feel good afterwards, clean, flushed.

Done it a couple times as well and the purging wasn't what everyone rants about it being. I guess it all depends on how much you really eat the night before starting it. Can say for certain though the sleep you get while going thru the procedure is some of the best sleep you will ever get!![]()
They don't call it "The Night of 1000 Waterfalls" for nothing. First one I had to drink 2 32oz. Gatorades with a laxative in them. I thought that would be easy but it seemed like that 2nd Gatorade was never going to be empty. The second time I had to drink 16 oz. of a solution which was much easier. The prep isn't fun but it is only for one night. Having the procedure done is much better than dealing with colon cancer.
Suck it up. You'll make it through it. I did, and I'm a notorious wimp.
Hatcreek's video pretty much nails it.

Is that small spot with someone already on it really worth finding out the hard way they don't like company? Keep it a mystery and go somewhere else.
The 50-yr rite of passage! The prep is never fun - particularly the last "purge." But...it certainly beats the alternative!

It sucked. I couldn't fart enough for the 2 days after for my stomach to get feeling better, they aired me so full. And you surely don't want to fart the days before, because it most likely isn't just gas.
Bad experience all the way around!
