Thumbs up I did the Colonoscopy, IT WASN'T BAD!!!

I hads a colonoscopy yesterday and it went well and everyone is right when they say that the prep is the worst..and IT WAS, drinking that "salt water" and going to the bathroom literally every 10 min with it pouring out of you (sorry too much info I know, even the fleet enemas were awful) but at the hospital I felt very comfortable! all the nurses were very nice and understanding, I even had a cute male nurse as well that made me quite comfortable and chatted with me before I was sedated ..nice benefit I thought I remembered seeing the a glimpse of the procedure on the tv above me but after that nothing, I don't even remember how I got into the recovery room, it was amazing. I felt absolutely perfect esp when I finally got to eat and drink something!!!! I was so excited about that when the nurse asked me what I wanted to eat/drink, haha. After about a half hour in the recovery room I went home and believe it or not had so much energry after napping for a few hours, it felt like nothing happened at all...weird huh? I'm 22 yrs old..yes very young..I was the youngest patient in the recovery room and if I can do it ANYONE can! By the way the bleeding in the stool is from hemmroids.. they confirmed it and said I have nothing to be alarmed about, so that is done and overwith.

Re: I did the Colonoscopy, IT WASN'T BAD!!!

Congrats on both an easy procedure and great results!

Good to know it's that simple. I have to go in for an endoscopy and a colonoscopy on Sept 15th and am fairly nervous about it. They're going to be doing both at the same time. I've had the endoscopy before and it was no big deal (yay sedation!). Kinda nervous about the colonoscopy tho.

Re: I did the Colonoscopy, IT WASN'T BAD!!!

No need to be nervous about the colonoscopy. To me it felt like I was under general anesthesia cuz I remembered next to nothing and felt nothing even though it was only sedation...I was like "that's it I'm finished??" Just the prep the day before is the worst. The colonoscopy was that simple I don't know why I waited so long. I'll keep you in mind and let me know after the 15th how you did
