Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	They have girlfriend Botox parties so why not colonoscopy girlfriend parties? It would sure make it more fun. Chatty, get your behind in for this test before I fly to Vegas and drag you to the doctor! In reading Sharon Osbourne's book and since Ozzy is a hypocondriac, she would have most likely died if he hadn't made her go in for the test. He is always worried about health issues (except drugs in his earlier years) and this worry saved her life. _________________________ If it doesn't feel good, don't do it twice. www.eadv.net Boomer Queen of Shoes

And I replied, "Yeah, Gee Georgia, I've never seen this side of you before..." The recovery room erupted in laughter... Go honey...it really IS painless. The only reason people don't do it is because of the stuff you have to drink before hand. ONE DAY of discomfort for your life? Me thinks its a pretty good trade...eh?

The prodecure was pure h***!!!!! I had the nurse and the doctor's elbows pushing on my abdomen to get my intestines to move so the doc could get the scope to move thru. I'm being honest with you all because it can hurt. But Chatty........request that you be put out and they will do that for you. I didn't request it because I believed my doc when she said it would be fine. SURE!!!!!!!!!! Lynne _________________________ Just pull up those big girl panties and get on with it!!

jjblue Member Registered: 06/28/06 Posts: 24 Loc: Pueblo, CO	Oooooh, have 'em, girls. Mom had early stage colon cancer, a good polyp gone bad. They did the surgery, a re-section and no chemo, no radiation since it had not penetrated the colon wall. Ten years later, she is healthy and, at 81, gets a regular colonoscopy. She, too, decided against the less invasive test--if they see something, you have to return for the regular test. My husband has to drink more than the gallon since it is hard to clean him out. He never gets sick--I know that I would be heaving with each dose. I wonder why? Body mass, maybe?

JaMaPh member Registered: 07/21/06 Posts: 162 Loc: Phoenix, Az	me trying to get the nerve too. I'm such a chicken poop when it comes to surgeries. I'm 52. My mother had her first one last year at age 76 or so. and she said all she had to do was take a little pink pill and drink some stuff for a little bit. I know I should. I will....some day ....soon...I will. Yes, I'll do that. Yes, I will... Jama

LSmith5434 Member Registered: 10/02/05 Posts: 370 Loc: Washington State	I will keep doing it even if it did hurt! I have to.......we all have to so we know that we're ok. I can tell you there's a lot more painful tests out there. I've had them done to me, and I've watched them being done on other people. My theory is if I want to stay well after 17 surgeries, I'd better do what's best for me. So........please get the test done.
