The Poojer Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 even sitting on the pot like that wasn't horrible...that propofol was AWESOME I think he was referring to the red-azz rectal/anal ring-of-fire that is the by-product of sitting on-and-off the terlit for 12 or so hours while the cleansing salt concoction flushes yer innards. By far the prep is the worst part of the procedure these days, and it is hideous. Propofol doesn't just make the procedure painless, it seems to happen in a twinkling. But the prep...yech!

TheMadCap Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Good news Pooj! What is "on schedule?" 50 years old/40 with family history of colon cancer? That is a great tip. I remember having a terrible time nailing it all. Is it okay w/the doctor if you mix w/Gatorade? As long as there is no red or purple dye which messes up the imaging. Yes, it is fine to do so.

Gugny Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I wonder if Poojer will now do this every 5 days like Mead does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guffalo Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 i felt absolutely nothing and even afterwards, they honestly could have done nothing and told me they did.

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) People should consult with their General Practitioner about guidelines. I think most folks should have one at age 50. After that, you follow your Gastroenterologist's recommendations based on his findings... nothing, polyps, diverticulitis, watch, gerbils, etc. For me it was a 5 year follow up to my first one because he found (benign) polyps. Had an endoscope the first time, but wasn't needed on the follow up. Next "on schedule" for me is 7 years. Everybody's different. Be healthy y'all. Thanks! Gonna be 46 this year... I am dreading what poor Pooj had to go through... I had the "Chef Jim special", that is: dual colonoscopy/endoscopy 20 years ago when I was ill. I was diagnosed w/JRA when I was a child. 20 years ago I had a wicked flare up of rhuematoid arthritis leading to all kinds of tests prior to them pinning it on the RA. I am absolutely dreading what Pooj went through, I have no found memories of drinking that jug o' pure hell! Hope they made the stuff better now... Gatorade trick seems like a good thing! I wonder if Poojer will now do this every 5 days like Mead does. LoL... There are animal cruelty societies out there that would frown upon this kind of activity!

Now you know why medical bills are so high. 10 oz. @ 100 bucks an oz. Of course till the patent runs out and it can go generic or something. ;-P ;-P Edited January 15, 2014 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. My wife did her's several years before mine and she came home with something that looked like a plastic gas can for the lawn mower. Mine was a couple of small bottles.

The Poojer Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 my gallon jug of gavilyte cost me $7...and in hindsight(no pun intended), i could have gotten away with maybe 2-3 pint glasses, especially after doing clear liquids the entire day leading up to it, but i suppose they want to make sure they don't get pooped on during the procedure...and actually as i got out of recovery, the first thing i did was check for 'dampness' in the back of my gown...it was dry...phew...
