Colonoscopy Procedure Review

If you are thinking about or been asked by your doctor to schedule a colonoscopy, do so for your health's sake. After my husband had his,and all went well it was my turn to have it done. I was totally terrified, but decided it was worth the peace of mind knowing if I had any problems. Drinking the liquid laxative the night before seemed to never end, but honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Be sure you prepare it in the morning and drink it cold at your scheduled time. I took a sip of Chicken Broth after drinking each glass of the laxative, it helps take the taste out of your mouth. I was in bed by 10:00 pm and the following morning left the house to the Surgical Center to have the colonoscopy. During the procedure didn't feel anything, you are totally asleep. Woke up about 35 minutes later. A little dizzy at first, then was able to sit up and drink some 7-up. Within an hour I was dressed and ready to go home. Everything went well and I can wait 10 years until the next colonoscopy. Schedule yours if you need to! IT'S NOT THAT BAD!!
