I call upon the atheist Jew to break his vow and offer a prayer for me (it can be silent, if necessary). I turned 50 this year, and I just filled my prescription for Golytely (4.0 L). Friday, I have a date with destiny. My god have mercy on my soul. -- Dr. Dickie Skepticult member in good standing #394-00596-438 Poking kooks with a pointy stick.

Dude! I turned 50 last November!! I still haven't made my date with destiny.
You are a brave man. Good luck. Don't post jpegs.
And make sure the doctor doesn't use his special personal sphincter dilator
first.

I know it's a ways off for me, but I dread the day my doc brings that
up. Please tell me they sedate you first...

Yes, they do. I plan on asking for more after the first shot. The wife will
deliver me home afterwards (sleeping face down I assume).

I have had 5. The sedation is sufficient to make it
a pleasant experience. The prep is far worse.

Yeah,
That's what I am hearing. Golytely apparently does not "go lightly" through
you (mostly PEG with some sodium salts to keep it isoosmotic for the ride).
Go gosh, 4L of that [censored]. My wife had similar thing done a few years ago,
but I only remember her drinking about a liter, still it hit her with the
force of a tsunami ;-0
I'm a bit aqua and fiber freak anywho, so I expect that it will just flush
out mostly water.

The deed is done.
DAMN, I hope that is only indicated every 10 years or so. I think my doctor
thought he was playing the GTA video game. Thank god for percocet (too much
is not).
Good news is the doctor did not find any polyps to run down while playing
the game or any bleeding (my borderline anemia remains a mystery).

I had not thought of it.
But our esteemed Dr Dickie does brag about poking folks with pointy sticks.
Could this be a side effect of this pointy stick poking??
Ya know, unique diseases of excortists, that sort of thing.

While anything is possible, I am simply happy that that "avenue" of
investigation is closed.
Perhaps I should lay off the leaches for a while.

It's probably too late to tell you this, but...
I have a colonoscopy every single year (UC). I have had, to date, 13
colonoscopies.
People in the know do NOT use GoLytely. I told my doctor the very
first time I tried it (note, I said "tried" as I did not finish it)
that I refused to ever use it again.
Since then, I have had successful results with any of the following
preps:
Citrate of Magnesia (two bottles of lemon flavor, icy cold, guzzled
fast)
Visicol Tablets with lots of water (developed an aversion after 4 years
of that)
Fleet PhosphoSoda (first got permission from the doc to try this on my
13th procedure just one month ago) - this is the best prep yet. For
the first time EVER, I finished all the prep. You only have to drink 3
ounces of stuff, total. It does NOT require a prescription and costs
very little, too.
Anyway, I hope your procedure went well regardless.

They tell you to turn on your left side, and then they immediately
sedate you. You know NOTHING.
The next thing you remember, you're back in recovery, being helped to

Lucky you. :-P
I had to stay awake because I had to drive myself home...
There was no one to help me out with that.
Damn that thing hurt, but I was pretty ill too.
Turns out I had C. difficile.
I _did_ get a single shot of Demerol, but I was not that impressed.

Believe it or not, I drink so damn much water, that my biggest problem was
drinking the Golytely s..l..o..w..l...y like they want you to (8 oz every 5
minutes). I could have shot the entire 4L in 20.
They let me add some Crystal light (even came with the prescription--I love
working for Mayo!).
I hope that all is well these days (I do not wish that procedure on anyone).
