Good luck with colonoscopy. Being a doctor, the procedure is usually straight-forward and usually no complications. Usually the docs will give you a sedative and pain control with demerol. Takes about 30-40 minutes. Shouldn't have any problems. Great that you are getting this done for you and your family!!!!:) :)

Ouch!
 

"Moon River" anyone remember that line? :D

As I remember Doc, we took a number of turns in my little adventure.

Randall is all good today I betcha. Excellent! Cleansed with bacteria repopulating merrily.

Had one last year.The worst part was that Fleet Phospho Soda that you have to take.There should be a warning label don't take if you want to be productive.The irony of this thread is that after reading it i looked to see if i still had the pictures and i do.

It is the colon probing that binds us.

I feel as if we are all one, with our internal plumbing, and as a board. Truely a spritual event that I shall cherish.

Can anyone tell me what the reasoning of getting one of these is? I mean, I am 28, should I be going to my doctor and telling him I need to have one or does something have to be wrong to have one?

colon cancer, couple years down the road your doc will suggest

No, dude I had an Irritable Bowel issue which has come and gone and was brought on by stress a few months ago. My stomach never really settled down. Its one of the reasons I take it easy when I drink b/c I really pay for it. You shouldn't get one unless you are having problems till you are in your 40's or have a family history of issues. Hope this helps Scavs

yo, I have IBS also, the 2nd I eat it comes flying out, alot of the time, might have to look into this if it will get my stomach to chill the f out

That's why I watch what I eat, but I got a Rx for something that has helped a lot. Simply slows things down.

I know of NO SUCH THING, it is eat and then pay the consequence....i eat all the bad things, milk/cheese are the worst for me and I am not lactose intolerant or whatever that crap is

Lomotil. There is a generic and its very cheap. Dude its fantastic. Eat whatever I want. Talk to your doc.

I am going in two weeks for the first time in 6 years. Mom's orders

All my blood numbers are going to be insane, I am going to get some serious talks from this guy......

What are you a fat mess? You are a young guy, I'm sure its not as bad as you think. You're tests won't be bad.

TESTING MY NEW AVATAR. Yep, we are a go. LOL

By the way, this avatar was Kev's idea.

yeah...sure....blame that "sh*t" on me....:eek: :eek:


OK...so it was my idea:o

I could add some of my life experience to this thread concerning "back end issues"

but i will not in respect of those whom need to eat and sleep:eek:

roids and i, chapter 28 in my new book

5'10 1/2 about 255lbs....All center weight though....SIU TIRE....(not from beer though. PEPSI....

I hide it well actually and it isn't too crazy, but still would like to be around 200 instead, my height, according to Doctors is like 185-190lbs

Yeah, take better care of yourself. My dad had a triple bypass in his 50's so I really try to watch stuff like that.

Diabetes is prevelant in my family, along with other bs...I do need to get nuts, thinking about it, just not motivated to do it, don't like moving

Ask for the PSA test....its usually for 35 and older but you're gonna be giving the blood anyway!

What is a PSA test?

For Prostate cancer.

Yeah, that stuff catchs my age males like crazy.....

Also, for men beware of testicular cancer, guy I work with is probably going to die from it, it's very sad...

The dr made me go get an ultrasound last summer, I am sure randall's experience wasn't great, but that wasn't much fun either and quite embarrassing, but quite a relief in the end..

I'll get checked for that stuff also

You know it wasn't embarrassing. You aren't awake so who knows what they did to me. I'll never know.

They have to tape that stuff now because of that very reason, you could ask to see that tape if you wanted to I GUESS

So who do you like in the 5th at the Big A?

I am inclined not to go near any Big A or let anybody go near my Big A...

But I am making a trip to the track to watch Gulfstream.
Race #8 Im thinkin of taking a look at the 9 and 3.
