Awesome....MMMM, Mayo.... :ylol2:


One thing:

HE LAID ON HIS RIGHT SIDE!!!

Far as I knew the left was standard, maybe that's for IBD scopes?

 

[XoBuBbLeSoX]

How bad is a colonoscopy really?I'll be having one soon....I'm petrified.

 

[Creepy Lurker]

You'll should be sedated so you won't remember a thing.

The prep is the killer.

 

[ladyB]

SOX, they have pills you can take for prep so you don't have to drink the liquid....I mean the liquid ain't bad if you likevery sour things I guess.
That's the worst of the prep, and the crapping.
The knocked out part is the best.

Good Luck

Yeah, I'm not sure if I would have had the choice for my preps, out of all 3 scopes, I had 3 different preps, all the same Gastro group of docs (2 different docs total), although the most recent was a sigmoid scope...

First was in the hospital, had to drink 1 gallon of the stuff, the worst...then I had half pills, half a gallon for the second scope about a year ago, then, the most recent were Fleet enemas and clear liquid diet, for the sigmoid...actually, the middle prep was the easiest, only because the enemas hurt like hell from all the inflammation, I have inflammation in the rectum among places, so it was torture.

ive asked about these pills for all 3 of my endoscopys but my doctor claims that no such thing exists! has anyone in the UK had these pills as prep before?

 

[My Butt Hurts]

Mirilax is a liquid prep but it doesn't taste aas bad as the salty ones.
Also, eat VERY lightly the day before. That'll help clean you out too.

i have never had pills before i had liquard that smells and taste like cat urine, how i got that down without throwing up i dont know. regards sharon xx

I was on the trylite solution. It tasted horrible and it felt horrible in you after drinking it. Mines came with flavor packs...i chose cherry. The trick for me was to pinch my nose and chug. I didn't do that till after drinking the first liter and about two fifths(wish i woullda thought of that before the first liter). Worked like a charm. Should i have to have another colonoscopy performed, I'm going to beg for pills.

 

[BWS1982]

Nobody can attest to being always on your left side? I thought that was an in stone aspect to it, due to the shape and path of the colon.

 

[mrs. vr]

I was on my left side for both my colonoscopy, and my endoscopy.

 

[ladyB]

You all must be up to date on your memory shots...lol
I've had each test more than once and I can't remember which side...
....no blonde jokes

I used osmoprep for my second scope and I actually preferred the liquid. The liquid gave me horrible cramps but the pills made me oh so nauseous. I'll take pain over nausea any day.

Though it's possible I didn't get nauseous the first time because I'd gotten so much anti-nausea medication recently...

Come to think of it, I was on my left side for both of mine too. Maybe it is standard.

 

[BWS1982]

When taking Satan's enemas (Colocort enemas), directions are to be on your left side for as long as possible, I remember because of the direction the tears rolled.

I'm pretty sure it's the layout of the colon.

I'm in the UK and I've always had picolax, it tastes like battery acid.

I've had 3 colonoscopies which isn't the bad part, the last time I had picolax was by far the worst, I was in the middle of a flair so I guess the boating hurt twice as much.
