Thanks Mary Jo for thinking of us. I had the first appointment today so I was out of there in no time. No polyops were found, but I do have diverticuli (sp?) so the doctor said I need to increase my fiber. He recommended that I take Benefiber daily. The worst part of this entire experience was the gas pains afterward. I also vomited once after we left. We were pulling off on our offramp and it just came out of nowhere. I had some orange juice after the procedure and really do know better - it can cause me problems even on a good day. Fortunatley I still had some Zofran left over from my chemo days and had brought one along. Other than the mess in my car, the day went well.
To all of you that are putting this off, you just need to make that appointment. It really isn't as bad as you imagine it to be.
Be well.
