Ellie,
I'll be thinking of you this morning. I had my first one done last year. The worst part is the prep. The rest is a cake walk. I love going under anesthesia. It's like a legal way of getting high, briefly. LOL
My advice once it's done, is to go home and take a nap. A nice LOOOOOONG nap. You'll feel much better.
You'll do fine.
I'll call you tonight.
Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever.

Well.......it was fail/abort!
By late yesterday afternoon, I was so sick from not eating all day, that I couldn't even keep the jello down any longer. I was light-headed, sick to my stomach, and breaking out in sweats, then dry heaves on top of it all. I gave it a shot - trying to drink the prep solution, but couldn't keep any down. So - needless to say, the procedure couldn't be done. I called in to cancel, but haven't heard back yet from my doc. He's going to have to find another solution, or it just won't get done.
So I put out $60 for the prep, and that was just money down the drain, and now I'll get socked with a $100 cancellation fee from the doc's office. But I feel even worse that my DIL took off work today to be my transport - all for nothing! I'll have to take her out to lunch or something when I'm feeling better.
Now I'm back to square one!

Oh I'm sorry, El! I was just about to ask how you're doing. That's just a shame in every respect.
Blessings,
Mary

Whoa, that doc should NOT be charging you a cancellation fee! You tried! You discussed this prep with him, told him you weren't comfortable with it! Not your fault you couldn't do it! That is just plain MEAN if he tries to charge you that fee!
I sent you a PM. The prep I did was 2 10 ounce bottles of Magnesium Citrate, (and you do NOT take them both together!) and 4 Dulcolax pills (I put 2 pills in the PM but I gave you the link to see the proper set up). You don't drink it all together, and I found it a very easy prep. Of course, I don't have the same issues as you. It is all Over The COunter stuff, not costly at all.
Do you HAVE to use this doc for the procedure? Can you select another doc? Would you want to?
If you don't like the prep in th elink I gave you, browse around, using GOOGLE:
colonoscopy prep
There are quite a few out there. I saw a good discussion on an IBS forum, you may want to read through when you are feeling better.
You may have better success if you ask the doc for x prep, rather than leave him guessing which one is going to work for you.
Hugs to you, hope you are feeling more yourself quickly!
