In case you're lost, here's a link to the last update: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...5&pagenumber=1
I have my colonoscope scheduled for 11:00 a.m. (have to be there at 10:00 a.m.) on Monday morning. I have my appointment with my surgeon at 2:30 that afternoon, so it'll be a full day.
The best part? My mom and I may meet up with Gini for lunch! That'll be something to look forward to.
I have a small request. Anyone that's had this done, can you answer two questions for me? Feel free to PM me if you feel better that way.
1. What was your prep? This IS the worst part...usually I have to drink almost a gallon of that icky stuff, then 1/2 bottle of the Fleet Soda (gag!) This time, they're giving me the pill form...28 total, 4 taken every 15 minutes. Is this better or worse? I'm already happy I wont have to gag on the liquid...but I wonder how it works?
2. Have you always been put to sleep for yours?? I've only had 1, but I've had 2 upper endoscopies and I've always been sedated...woken up and test was all done before I knew it. The only reason I'm worried is because I normally go to the local endoscopy center and they are AMAZING. It'll be done in the hospital at Cedars...my doctor is the one doing the test. I know I"m in excellent hands, but I worry its going to hurt or be uncomfortable. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow and talk to him the day of...to MAKE CERTAIN I'm asleep and medicated. When I asked him in the office, he said, "Of course!". But I feel the need to be certain it'll be the same as I'm used to. New tests are always a bit scary...even now, my tummy is fluttering because I'm nervous.
OK...let me know if you know.
Hugs,
Kelly
