Have you ever had a colonoscopy?

Recommended Posts

Had one 3 years ago at the age of 26.

The only tough part that I remember was the day before you cant eat, instead you have to take laxatives for 24 hours and have explosive diarriah.

My doctor had me take:

A 24 hr laxative

A bottle of milk of magnesia

4x stool sofeners

...I think my doctor went a little over kill...plus my doctor was a bitch.

No pain afterwords....

I think I had to use suppositories which really is un pleasant

Just wondering what your experience was with it. I may have to have one very soon. :(

So, you have a date with Dr. Roto Rooter. I've had a colonoscopy and a sigmoidoscopy.

It's not that big of a deal if you have the procedure done. The preparation for 24 - 48 hours prior is probably the worst part since you will be taking something to clean out your system. My suggestion is to make your last meal a good one but don't have something that is hard for the system to digest. A steak with all the timmings for example is not a good idea.

Not sure what it is like in your area but they probably won't let you drive once the procedure is completed. Take somebody with you that can drive.

Holy poo! That is a lot of laxatives. I already have explosive diarrhea, I don't even want to think about what is to come!

Id tell you all about my colonoscopy but I don't remember much. propofol is like nectar from the GODS.

That's nice to know :)

I wish I could eat a good meal. I've been so sick over the last 4 days I've not been able to eat much more than crackers & water.

You're welcome.

    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
    • The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit. 
    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
