Status: offline 		Having never had a colonoscopy before (tomorrow a.m.), I'm discovering some fascinating things:

1) The liquids you have to drink the day prior taste like....well....shit.
2) There is not a single popsicle product out there that tastes anything at all like steak.
3) I have never, until just moments ago, in all my years, having just opened up 2 cans of fresh cat food, ever felt more jealous of my cat.

4) I have to leave now....

* needs to get one done too *

There are some neat things that can be done with imaging (can't remember if it's MRI or CT) that gives good results.  They're still in the trial phase, though.  You "subtract" the poop via software.  No prep!

Yeah....just my first lucky opportunity to experience all this "over 50" stuff I guess.

(If I'd have known this was coming, I'd have lied on my drivers license years ago).

Status: offline 		I'm not sure there will ever be a non-invasive procedure that will work as well as a colonoscopy, at least for those with a history of colon polyps, but I do look forward to seeing what advances can be made.  People are squeamish about the topic and it is one of the most successful procedures you can have, as far as early intervention regarding polyps that usually turn into cancer if left untreated and have no symptoms until they are problematic.

Did you have to drink that jug of GoLYTELY?  My housemate recently had surgery and it was torturous watching her drink that stuff.

Status: offline 		From my experience, the only thing worse than the stuff you have to drink, is the horror of realizing that gorgeous, sexy beast of a man you just flirted with, is the doctor who is going to be shoving that camera up your ass.  Thank god, the drugs kicked in and knocked me out, immediately after I made that realization.

Yes...."GoLytely".

Let me just be the first to say....it is the singularly most misleading product name I have ever heard.

@ LookieNoNookie : "liquids you have to drink the day prior"  ...  Are we going to be getting a "running" report ?

And by the time it was over, all that was coming out was blue liquid. Blue ... like Smurf blue ... *shudders* It was very disturbing.
