Thanks for the reply Patti,

That's exactly what I was asking about. From your reply it sounds as though it is prcedure that's done in the office with out a lot of prep.

I am supposed to have this test and I am terrified of it. Is it as bad as it sounds?

Hey Trapley!

I don't think that there is anything to be afraid of, from what my GI dr told me, it's only uncomfortable. With as many different tests as I've been thru in the last three years I've learned that very few of them are ever dangerous, only uncomfortable or embarassing and that they all get over with eventually and I'm none the worse for wear.
