Colonoscopy/Upper GI tomorrow

[plifter]

I am exhausted from the colonoscopy prep. I still have one laxative dose to go. They're plugging me from both ends tomorrow. I get one camera stuck up me bum and another shoved down my throat (I hope they use different cameras, LOL). I'm starving to death right now and I can't eat anything until this is all over. I can't wait until this time tomorrow night. It will all be over by then. At least they are putting me to sleep so I won't know what the hell is happening. Also, I hope they figure out what is wrong with me. I suspect a stomach ulcer.

I've already prepared my self mentally. I will have no sense of modesty tomorrow. I'd just go ahead and walk in the surgery center naked if it wasn't so damned cold outside.

I've never had anything stuck up my ass before except for the tip of an enema bottle. I did that in complete privacy at home.

Good luck to you! I am sure someone here can tell you what it is like to have something up the ass

The doc promised me that I won't remember anything. I'm getting knocked out cold.

That is good at least you won't be awake during it, but you may have sore booty afterwards.

Can't wait until this procedure becomes more readily available and affordable.

If the camera they stick down your throat tastes like shit you know they didn't clean it! lol

Good luck!

That still isn't as reliable as a colonoscopy, and it not only exposes someone to unnecessary radiation, but it also increases their chances of kidney failure from the contrast (dye) load.

Colonoscopy will remain the gold standard for quite some time.

CT scans increase your risk of cancer more than just a trivial amount. A CT scan of the head is equivalent to 100 chest x-rays. A CT scan of your chest is equivalent to 400 chest x-rays, and one of your abdomen and pelvis between 400-600 chest x-rays, depending on the size of the cuts.

plifter, you'll probably get midazolam (Versed) to knock you out. You'll be pretty groggy during the day, but won't remember most of what happened. You'll feel like crap the following day.

I had the double colonoscopy/endoscopy myself two summers ago -- once the anesthesiologist did his work I thought that everybody had left the room, was mad they were keeping me waiting -- of course it was all over. No soreness anywhere, but the doctor insisted on showing me pictures of my insides.
