It could also be your insurance, what's available at your pharmacy, that's what the doctor knows or he just doesn't like you
But if you get the 2 little bottles it's much easier.
As in much easier drinking it, the reaction's the same.
And here it is my Dumb azz was walking around with a Gallon of water like was at Planet Fitness trying to impress some broads before Covid hit......Here is what I had to take.
Much better than that one gallon crap
Mannn, this was a couple of years ago when I did it. I do remember that "shyt" like yesterday doe....It could also be your insurance, what's available at your pharmacy, that's what the doctor knows or he just doesn't like you

I see what you did...
I am not so much worried about the prep. I am worried about being put under by the anesthesiologist. Never been put out before. I know they do it all the time, but it still worries me.
don't sweat it
the anesthesiologist is a specialist
that's all they do and they monitor you the whole time
like someone said above
it will be the best sleep you'll ever have
I've been under three times in life, with the colonoscopy being the most recent. It had been 20 years since my knee surgery and I was nervous as well. But just as with the previous occasions, one second you're awake before the procedure and almost instantly, at least from your perspective, you're awake again following the procedure. You don't dream and you don't feel the passage of time. So if you're comparing it to sleep, the closest it would come is when you're sleeping so deeply you don't even dream.
Thank you. Appreciate it. Doctor said to do it so, I will suck it up and get it done.
i just got scheduled for one in nov
I've only been under a few times, and the sensation is pretty much this. You're possibly a little groggy at first, but the time you are out for the actual work feels like nothing. If anything, this should be a simpler experience than that, because with a surgical procedure, you wake up and there's obviously something different about you (gauze in your mouth, wraps, minor pain...). From my understanding, this procedure is pretty pain free.
My doc basically said that they lowered the guideline from 50 to 45 a while back, but that he doesn't particularly worry about it until you get to 50 (unless you have some other contributing factors). He sees the pushback as giving him a few more years to talk patients into it before they hit 50. I'm just going to go ahead and get it done this year, since I believe I have at least one relative that dealt with colon cancer later in life (survived and is doing fine, by the way, so I'm heavy on Team Early Detection).
my procedure was weird, I've had several female doctors, but my anesthesiologist was hotttt .....
I did the traditional exam first, did cologuard last yr, so far all is good .....
Thanks for the insight.

Just had mine done recently. The prep was definitely the worst part, between trying to eat/not eat certain things for a few days, not eating anything the day before, and "the cleanse" (which honestly could have been worse, but still sucked).
By the time we got to the actual procedure, Everything was cool. Got wheeled in, blinked twice, and next thing I know, I'm waking up feeling no pain or anything else. Had an absolutely huge lunch, and things went relatively back to normal.

I've been seeing the cologuard ads for months and it says it's the less invasive option so I was thinking about getting that
Stop being a pussy and get yo ass dug in the old fashioned way
I've had a couple prostate exams so yeah I have had it done the old way but if there's an alternative then that's what I'm going for
Still think you have a chance with her?

Man I’m just fuckin witcha
I get a stool sample test sent to me once a year after my birthday from the V.A.
They started sending them to me after my 50th birthday. I turned 53 this year.
My results this year were negative. If something does come up they will schedule me to come in for a colonoscopy and whatever other tests they have.

My doc kept it real. He said Black men and women are statistically at higher risk for colon cancer and suggested to start thinking about it at 40 but 45 at the latest. Remember C Boseman was 43 when he died. 
I've been pushing fam around me to get it done, and yeah..it's not that bad except for the prep which seems to vary based on Doctor.

Digital prostate exams are far worse than a colonoscopy, as you're under sedation while it's happening. That's unless you prefer the non-sedation route like my man Redline. He insists on being fully awake the entire time. Despite the jokes, that Brother is serious about colonoscopies and chooses to get one every year despite the guidelines.I've had a couple prostate exams so yeah I have had it done the old way but if there's an alternative then that's what I'm going for
Honestly, I spent a lot of time worrying about that exam. If I had to rank things in my life that I wasted time worrying about, this would rank towards the top of the list. I have two friends that are like brothers who are approaching their mid-50s that I'm nagging about getting it done.
