Re: Fasting, colonoscopy NEED ADVICE!

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.

Re: Fasting, colonoscopy NEED ADVICE!

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.
