Butt talk

[Donald]

Had a colonoscopy today. Doc prescribed MoviPrep as a cleanser. Stuff is expensive! Stopped solid food yesterday morning. Apple juice and Perrier all day. Started the cleanser at 16:00. Drink 1 quart in the first hour. Drink 2nd quart at 19:00 hour. Taste was palatable but it felt syrupy. By bed time output was clear. Definitely get a supply of baby wipes!

Appointment was for 9:30 which was too early for my driver. So I did it with no meds. They put in an IV just in case. Under normal circumstances I am a "hard stick." Being dehydrated made it worse. Usual spot resulted in a collapse. Nurse brought in the PA. He used a smaller needle in my other arm on the inside wrist and got it first stab. The procedure started with me on my back with my legs bent at the knee. I am a hardware guy so I was interested in the gear but did not get to see it. But by feeling I decided what amounts to a lubed butt plug is inserted. The scope attaches to the plug and moves in and out of it. There is a liquid recovery system that captures all the water that is used to clear bile for a better view. What the camera saw was displayed on a monitor I could see. I had no sensation when the probe moved. There were a couple of times when it felt like I had bad gas pain or cramps. When it came to the ascending colon I had to roll on my left side and the nurse pushed on my stomach to help the probe make the turn. Everything was withdrawn with no feeling on my part. There were a couple of small wet farts. I was rolled to recovery and got dressed. I was given the doctors report with 22 pics. Nothing needed clipping or further testing. Just mentioned diverticulosis in the entire colon. But no action needed. All I can think of is Bill and Wendy Whiner from SNL. :-)

From entering patient area back to my car was 80 minutes. Now good for 5 or 10 years depending on who you listen to. Met a friend at 5Guys and had a Bacon Cheeseburger, fries and Coke! Eating immediately is one of the benefits of not using meds! :-)

6 hours later I had a short bout of gas otherwise the whole thing was a big to do about nothing.

Wishful thinking, I am sure.

Talk about some literal butt hurt.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Did you get any mods done while at it?

All this just for a missing set of car keys.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Oh and one more thing,was it synthetic lube they used, or conventional?

[88LTDCV351]

Drinking a quart every hour was hard for me. I couldn't handle the taste but its been a number of years since (over 10 years). It definately wasn't a syrupy taste. Maybe they have you drink something different these days.

[Spectragod]

Did you get any color wallet size photos? Or maybe you could post up some of the more scenic shots?

[71cyclone]

Good postings and ass you can see the doctors win in the Game of "Butt Gambit"- Stay safe members, after 50 its time for "A OVERHAUL" Old Quote in the MASK movie

[fastblackmerc]

Now good for 5 or 10 years depending on who you listen to.

[QUOTE=fastblackmerc;1410214]So your a perfect a**hole now? :eek:

that is funny, but to be a perfect a**hole is no hemorrhoids....... to get a colonoscopy is no fun but the worst part is the preparation as told very accurately.....to be serious, you reach that age when certain tests should be performed......just because you don't show any symptoms doesn't mean nothing is going on....by the time symptoms show up, you are beyond early detection....my first colonoscopy, one precancerous polyp....2 years later, 3 precancerous polyps....I'm due again this month and not looking forward to it....and to scare you guys even more, see a urologist for a prostate check....no fun either and I'll give a hint, make sure he has small fingers :eek: LOL....get a PSA reading (only a blood test).....gives you a baseline figure to work with....prostate cancer can be slow growing....again, early detection is key for treatment.....by the time symptoms show up, you've probably got the big "C"........Since my last exam, I'm prostate cancer free after my proton therapy :)

[loud2004marquis]

Pffffft....

[Donald]

No mods. i am perfect just the way I am. :)


Did you get any mods done while at it?

[Donald]

The prep was done out of sight. Just like my dentist not letting me see the needle coming. :)


Oh and one more thing,was it synthetic lube they used, or conventional?

[champ1173]

Glad to hear everything came out alright!:laugh: This is something I know I gotta do here soon.

[Donald]

Just the 22 thumbnails on the printed report. I do have larger printed images from 10 years ago I could scan. :)

[CHSurvivor]

[Donald]

Just got a call from the surgery center making sure I was OK.

[bigcowl-imp]

HAA you guys are killing me over here.....i needed a good laugh........i just had one done about a month ago but they knocked me out....

[1Marauder]

Serious left turn down a one way dirt road for the forum... Butt thanks for sharing!

Everyone should have their exhaust system checked!

Google the Dave Barry colonoscopy story. one of the funniest things I've read in a long long time.

[RubberCtyRauder]

No mods. i am perfect just the way I am. :)

I see, staying naturally aspirated is a good thing sometimes

[Bigdogjim]

Strange? When I had mine done in January I swear I heard a backhoe??? When I woke up I smelled diesel exhaust :lol:

[sailsmen]

As a "routine examination" w/out any specific risk factors I would do a lot of research before having one performed.

A member on this board several hours after having one while at home coded and the only reason why he is alive is because his wife knows CPR.

I recently had the occasion to research the risk factor of a treatment vs the illness and I was shocked at the percent of people that elect to undergo the treatment that has a higher risk than the illness.

I am very glad I did the research and declined the treatment for it turns out I don't have the illness. Sometimes technology provides too much information.

I am unaware of any process or program that enables you to judge the risk of the treatment vs the illness. Although the data exist to do it.

If I had a couple of million I would hire a few programmers, actuary, psychologists and a doctor to develop such a program to aid in the decision process.

The funniest part to me was the recovery room:
A room full of people (including myself) uncontrollably farting LMAO.
