I have an autoimmune disease and have to get a colonoscopy every 2 years. The prep sucks, but you’ll get great sleep under sedation. Then you’re not supposed to do anything serious after, so you have a day to sleep more.
Keep asking my doc if I should be getting those from a younger age because of a history of cancer and he always disregards the question. Check your body for lumps guys.
Get a bidet. No joke, you will feel like the insides of your body is being shed. It feels like hell and like you want to quit but it is very important to finish your prep.
I’ll say that the prep was anticlimactic when I had my colonoscopy. Biggest problem was it didn’t kick in when it was supposed to. I ended up staying up much later than planned and calling the emergency line because I was starting to think it wasn’t going to happen.
Then it did. Not anywhere close to as bad as people had suggested. I do have a bidet, which certainly helped, but I’ve had a lot worse experiences from eating at the cafeteria at work.
According to my wife who had to have a colonoscopy in her 30s, it was a lot worse then. She said the prep for the most recent one was nothing.
My first colonoscopy about 12 years ago, when I was in highschool, had a 2-3 day long prep period. My most recent one was like 12 hours. They’ve made major improvements
Both the British and American receptionists for their versions of the Office have now had great cancer.
Schedule the checkup, never put off those visits.
I’ll be doing my first colonoscopy soon
Can’t afford it.
Cancer is more expensive. If you’re over 40 it’s preventative and covered by most insurance.
Good thing most young people are getting cancer earlier than 40…

So, don’t sweat the prep.
