Hey everyone,
So I have to go for a colonoscopy on Monday morning which means I have to prep this Sunday. I have to say I'm not scared of the actual procedure as they say they will completely knock me out, but I am terrified of taking the diarrhea drink of doom the night before. Can anybody out there who's had a colonoscopy give me an idea of what to expect as far as the prep goes. I've been pretty fortunate in the fact that I only have D once a day so the idea of having it for hours at a time is a little nerve racking for me. I just want to know am I really going to be confined to the toilet for hours on end or is that just an exaggeration? Any stories would be helpful just to give me an idea of what to expect would be greatly appreciated. thanks
