Who’s had a colonoscopy?

[displacedinMN]

what has amazed me with these threads, is the number of different ways doctors do clean outs

Mine was gatorade and miralax

Others needed the magic cocktail

then one had a pill and gatorade


Why all of the differences?

All I know is I’ve had 5, and the highlight is when you wake up and they slip you a ham and cheese sandwich, then your guts start waking up and all this air they blew up your asshole so they can look around needs to start working its way out. Fart city for about an hour, and the nurse is saying that that’s just fine, everyone else does it but my wife doesn’t seem to care about everyone else.

Don’t matter about the results, I just want to get home.

I asked the same question earlier in the thread. Basically - my dad, my brother, & myself each had a colonoscopy within 18 months of each other and each one of our preps was different. Each doctor that ordered it was different, but all at the same clinic.

You would think that there would be a standard "Do these steps" but it seems like it changes based on how the doctor is feeling that day.

I assume that if he thinks that you are an asshole, he will prescribe the worst possible prep.

My doctor must hate me.

I know this may come as a shock to many, but it mostly has to do with your insurance.
