Frostshock 09/27/23 12:26:27 AM #21:	Every doctor will prescribe a different cleanse that they like.

PraetorXyn 09/27/23 9:27:02 AM #38:	I have. The procedure itself is nothing. They start the anesthesia, next thing you know youre leaving. The prep is the bitch. Its not as bad as it used to be, as instead of drinking the barium solution, you can drink certain colors of Gatorade with Miralax shook up in it. But you basically have to go on a restricted diet for a week, with a day or two of that being completely liquid, and youre going to be having diarrhea multiple times a day for part of that week. I would expect to lose about 5 pounds by going through the prep. --- Console war in a nutshell: http://imgur.com/xA6GJZ9.png <cite>PraetorXyn posted [p:976333126] in Have any o...

Its not as bad as it used to be, as instead of drinking the barium solution, you can drink certain colors of Gatorade with Miralax shook up in it. But you basically have to go on a restricted diet for a week, with a day or two of that being completely liquid, and youre going to be having diarrhea multiple times a day for part of that week.I would expect to lose about 5 pounds by going through the prep. </quote> ...

Southernfatman 09/27/23 9:28:47 AM #39:	GranTurismo posted... what is pancolitis? I thought the liquids thing was mandatory for the procedure My entire colon became inflamed. It was basically over a week of having extreme diarrhea every 10 minutes even if I had nothing to expel. I could barely eat or drink anything (even sipping on water was miserable and made me have to go) and became extremely dehydrated as a result and put on an IV when I finally went to the hospital. It's the worst thing I've ever experienced. I probably did have to drink something for the colonoscopy, but it was such a difficult time I'm probably misremembering not having to drink anything.

VeesMcGees 09/27/23 9:29:23 AM #40:	I had one earlier this year, and it went really smooth. The only bad part is the laxative and liquid diet prep.

bigblu89 09/27/23 9:38:38 AM #41:	I'm getting one on Monday, I'll let you know. From everyone I've talked to, the prep is worse than the procedure. No fruits or vegetables, and a low fiber diet for 2 days, and then no food AT ALL for 24 hours. You also drink this high powered laxative that basically has you literally shitting water by the end of it to flush out your colon and intestines. Not looking forward to that part. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. <cite>bigblu89 posted [p:976333297] in Have any o...

Kimberly 09/27/23 9:43:51 AM #43:	It's a generally safe procedure, but very invasive. There are a lot of risks associated with them. A colonoscopy's risks are worth the advance notice in treating a highly treatable form of cancer that is exceedingly deadly if left unchecked. Everyone with a family history of colon cancer, or 45 and older, should get routine screening for it. You won't need to do colonoscopies every year, but the screening tests are always worth doing. --- I'll be your guide when you wanna get lost I'll be the sword at your side at all cost <cite>Kimberly posted [p:976333364] in Have any o...

ScazarMeltex 09/27/23 9:48:33 AM #46:	I've had 3. It's a routine procedure with very little risk, the largest being adverse reaction anesthesia, but even that is rare because they don't put you down deep like a real surgery. You are usually given propofol, which is a helluva buzz for about 4 seconds, then you have the best sleep of your life. Also, I'd be dead if I hadn't caught my cancer at stage 1 with a colonoscopy. --- Furthermore, The GOP is a Fascist Organization and must be destroyed <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:976333423] in Have any o...
