in hospital waiting for 1st scopes

i'm waiting in bed in my stylish hospital get-up,starving,thirsty,tired & anxious...gastroscopy & colonoscopy day is here at last!

prep is something I don't look forward to doing again so I hope the doc can see what he needs to see.i've never wanted food so bad in my life,& ever y time I looked at tv or pickedup a magazine,all I saw was food&cooking :-/u

Isn't it the truth!
When we can have food we don't want it and when it is denied we are starving.!!
Hope the scopes go well for you and that your recovery is uneventful
Feel better soon
Hugs and best wsihes

yay!! im home already! the staff at the hospital were fantastic,& I was totally knocked out which I was surprised & happy about,i had a gastroscopy ten yrs ago & they didnt sedate me enough,remember hearing doc talk,being held down by nurses while I was moaning :-/

I was told the scope found severe diverticulitis/diverticular disease & a heap of biopsies were taken as some parts of my colon looked inflamed,other parts the doc couldnt see really well so he took biopsies to be thorough....very happy so far with this doc.i see him at the end of month for biopsy results & 'where to go from here'

so,all the ppl who said prep was worst bit....omg you're so right.i found going without food much harder than the watery runs though

so thanks to all the freaked-out ppl who'v posted questions,fears & advice about the dreadedcolonoscopy,i havent felt quite so alone or scared reading about everyones 'stuff'on here


cheers

I don't even know how many preps I've had to do and I know for a fact that you never really get used to them. Every single one sucks so much. Only had one scope where I was a little too awake at first so I feel you on not being sedated enough during your other one. Its soo not cool. I really wanted to sue him but only reported him at the hospital where he works (and I hope USED to work). And yes, not being able to eat sucks but that's the one thing I have gotten used to. I love planning my meals for afterward now. That and sleep are the only thing to look forward to (and a diagnosis/treatment of course!).
