Besides being hungry....and I did have broth/jello! I hope your appt for it is first thing in the a.m. mine was. The hardest part for me was so much diarehha (sp) my....How do I put this nicely?? Well, for lack of a better word...butthole from all of it. I called my Mom and she has Crohns so he has the problem most of the time.

Her advice was take baths for the burning, and I took several of those and that did give me some relief.

The colonoscopy part was the easist part of the whole process. And I have learned now that when I wake up from whatever they give you for that or any surgery I just want to get up and get out of the place. When I left I had a little bit of gas, but I was fine. I THINK THE PREP IS the worst part and you get thru that the colonoscopy isn't anything.

Flori...LOL! Im so sorry to laugh, but the terminology in this thread had me laughing literally. Ass snake! Im so sorry I missed this thread until now, but I would have said just what everyone else said...no big deal, much easier than 99 percent of the things we have done. My doctor gives what he calls a twilight sleep, and while I was aware that something "not right" was going on down there, apparently I didn't care and after I didn't really remember it. Im so happy nothing cancerous was found, and maybe now they will be able to find a treatment that will get you feeling better. Big hugs to you! Lots of prayers and positive energy headed your way.
