I went in for my pre consultation yesterday. Scope is scheduled for September 1st which, mercifully is a Friday.
Doc was pretty open with me. He said the prep is 1000 times worse than the procedure. My appointment is at 8:30, he said I should be home by noon unless they find some boulders in there. FYI, I haven’t been having any issues but I turned 45 this year and that’s the new recommended age.

Not sure whether you all go under for the procedure with anesthesia, but it's something to think about. You can do it without going under, but it is supposedly a bit painful...like getting a cramp. Why this is an issue? there is evidence that anesthesia can contribute to dementia later in life. Anecdotally, my mother had multiple cancer related surgeries and in her early 80's slipped into a state where she couldn't recognize anyone around her.

I have family history of Alzheimer's on my mom's side. So, that does concern me some. I think genetics is probably the biggest factor.

They recommend having a colonoscopy at 45 nowadays. If they find nothing you’re likely done for another 10 years. It’s worth having the peace of mind especially considering how common colon cancer is becoming in younger people.

It's not a guarantee that it would have caused problems, but I'm pretty glad I went in when I did. |

That's pretty much the opinion of everyone.
