Well I finally got it to it today and done with. I had been up all night drinking Lemon-Lime Gatorade which I hated. ( I love the red one better )  anyway results in 1 week.  The doctor said I had a hernia which I did know and he took out polips to do a biopsy on If the test come back bad,we have to do it again.. I am now going to get something to eat cause I'm starving. I hate being on a liquid diet.

Glad it's over with! I think the prep is worse than the procedure. I was starving when I came out of mine.

I hope the results are OK! Are you going to have a hernia repair?

My husband had one about a year ago. He agrees that the prep was horrible. He absolutely hated the vile stuff he had to take. Dr. found a couple of polyps that were removed right away --- nothing malignant or anything like that. They said to do another one in 3 years, but I know he would absolutely had to do it again. I haven't had one done == yet!

I didn't mean to say Hernia I meant to say Hemorrhoids were take out.

Regular colonoscopies beat the alternative. I have a friend on his 7th year of using colostomy bags. Thankfully his has done very well.

If everything cam back okay, there would not be any repeat for me in six months. The colonoscopy is an invasive procedure and some risk is always involved.:nod: Also, I would not trust a doctor who wanted to repeat this procedure when all the tests are okay. Just saying.:nod:

Exactly. I'm surprised that insurance would cover it.
