[Kaleva]

5. I woke up during one of mine

Talked to the Dr for a bit, saw the inside of my gut on the monitor then fell back to sleep .

[MontanaMama]

14. I woke up once too.

I was in a lot of pain. They stopped the procedure.

3. The stuff

they give you during the procedure is wonderful. I'm not a drug user, but this stuff was great!

[AllaN01Bear]

6. lol

[Kaleva]

7. Post the pics they give you

18. When I woke up woozy from my first one, the doctor showed me the polyp he found in a bottle. In ...

... state of mind I was in, I thought he was offering it to me as a souvenir and tried to take it. He disabused me of the notion.

The following series were with a different drug that allowed me a clearer mind waking up. And I always asked for it. You've seen one alimentary canal, you've seen them all.

[Kaleva]

21. I have the pics in my office desk

Someday I'll put them in frames and put the pics on the table with the family pictures before company comes over and see how long it takes before they are noticed. Maybe this Thanksgiving I'll do that

8. Mine was June 2022. Hard part was before procedure.

Let us know how you are doing.

[EYESORE 9001]

9. ColonoSTOPy

Is that the procedure where they stop you up afterward?

Hope you don’t wake up, or if you do, you won’t remember it. I awoke while it was happening, and I heard someone say, ‘get him back under!’, and I stopped remembering stuff.

[AllaN01Bear]

10. i told em i wanted a bottle of jack daniels b4 hand , not to drink but to

smash me over the head to knock me out. lol. ps , a friend of mine was awake and didnt bother him. im different though.

[Kaleva]

12. How is one supposed to enjoy it if they knock you out?

[Lochloosa]

13. .....

[marble falls]

17. Whatever they knock you out with, I highly reccomend. It knocks you out in a second and when ...

... you wake up it feels like it's only a minute later, fully alert and awake.

[Kaleva]

20. I had the procedure done 4 times in 3 years

They couldn't find out why I was having the issues I was having and concluded it was IBS and it cleared up in its own.

[Walleye]

11. Good luck I will be scheduling mine this week I think

I have to go every five years because my mom died of colon cancer. You’ve already done the hard part good luck

[LastDemocratInSC]

15. You can add some humor to the event by telling your doctor

about the gastroenterology reference in the Beatles song "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds". At the end of the 5th verse there are these two lines:

Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with colitis goes by.

[marble falls]

16. You're just the guy to walk away clean! thoughts and prayers, brother!

[irisblue]

19. I told the Dr & staff to get off my ass to my boss

Cathy was quite a manager

Tell us how you are my dear

[Skittles]

22. in out and gone

that's the doc too

[ailsagirl]

23. Not to worry

The prep is the worst part— once that’s done, you’re (practically) home free. Really.
