Had my first colonoscopy a couple years ago. Just so happened to coincide with my kids softball tournament and every parent had to volunteer to help run something. I end up working the grill, while I am fasting, just before drinking the colon blow. Not fun. Thankfully they knock you out so there is no recollection of the procedure but the doctor comes out to give the results and says, "You have a beautiful colon", in the most awkward way possible. Was he zipping up as he said it?

I dont do drugs. What are you. A hippie weirdo? Upper endoscopy. If youre letting them in the back might as well let them in the front. hmmm.....Interesting. Maybe I was wrong but my approach was the opposite when I met my wife. I assumed she'd let me in the front first before I tried the back. You may be on to something. wait...what are we talking about?

And to think I fret the yearly finger check.
My hat's off to you, 32G, sir.

I dont do drugs. What are you. A hippie weirdo? Upper endoscopy.If youre letting them in the back might as well let them in the front. First, good luck with your procedure 32. For those who are scheduled for an endoscopy, here's my two cents. Instead of having it done in a hospital under sedation, check into Transnasal Esophagoscopy (TNE). You're awake and sitting comfortably in the doctor's office. Afterwards, you just go about your business with no effects from the procedure. I've been experiencing reflux issues for the last few years. (Things went to a head when I had trouble swallowing food. Scared the shit out of me and was convinced I has throat cancer.) I had my initial endoscopy in a hospital setting, which is expensive and causes you to miss a day, especially with the effects of anesthesia. Second one (with a noted specialist) was a TNE and a completely different (positive) experience. Also, because you're lying down during a hospital endoscopy, results are often misleading or wrong. It's common for biopsies to be taken too low, which causes stomach cells to be incorporated into the biopsy. This happened to me. I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus, which is a pre-cancerous condition. But guess what? After living in fear for about a year, I went to that noted specialist, who through TNE determined that I never had Barrett's. I was both ecstatic and livid.

I had one done in the hospital setting a couple of years ago. Thankfully no issues. I am supposed to eventually get it looked at again. I will definitely look into this alternative procedure.

Awesome that you are issue free. That's the best feeling on Earth. As with anything, just make sure you do your research on the doctor. My experience was beyond positive. Other than slight gagging sensation when the scope goes down, it's no big deal. I had biopsies taken and didn't feel a thing. Feel free to PM me if you ever have questions. Here's a brief paper on the subject you might find informative. www.voiceinstituteofnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/TNE-Wite-paper-2008.pdf

Not fer nuthin, I don't think going thru your mouth to check your colon is the best idea. You've got over 30 feet of intestine to plow thru before you even get there.

I've had colonoscopy and EGD done multiple times. The key to getting through any of the prep and anxiety is thus: ask the doc to push the meds slooooooooowly. Once you experience that, you'll practically look forward to your next scheduled procedure.
You're welcome.
Green, good luck today, and UP THE IRISH!!!
