I have to have one of those (don't know how to spell it) and I have to drink an EFFING GALLON of laxative fluid! Talked to yesterday and he told me he only had to take a 50 ml laxative!!! It's insane and I really don't wanna do this but I have to... I have to drink this stuff that tastes icky, first 2 liters in an hour, then another 2 liters 4 hours later and living on the in between, only clear fluids until after the exam the next day


How's it done in your country??

Never had one.


Never want to have one.

Neither do I.

Fuckkkk..
wow..

I cant remember what amount of laxatives I had, but I have talked to about this in the past.. years ago..

Yeah you do have to stay close by to a thats the scary part.. but once you are in the hospital you are given a mild sedative.. and when I had mine done.. I have had about 4 in the past.. I just watch the tv screen while the camera pokes around inside me..

its fascinating really.. and best to be on the safe side, so best to get it done

and i always get a lovely cup of tea andf a biscuit afterwards.. or some toast

Teacher said:

Sorry, darlin'. I thought they were only done if you're an old man or cancerous/at risk for cancer?

Teacher said:

Being that I live in a third world country,

they only use an index finger, wrapping-paper cardboard tube & a warm smile.

Thanks, I'll remember this when I'm stuck on the loo

Don't wanna get into details really but I'm not an old man anyway

Teacher said:

Right. I should have mentioned I wasn't looking for a story, sorry.

Hope it's not too awful.

I'm usually turned on by teachers sexy butt, but not today. lol. That doesn't sound right dear, you should ask the doctor why first.

Anybody ever have a CT? yikes, feels like you are drowining.

My butt is ALWAYS pretty


I know why I need it, just don't wanna tell the Org ALL of my business... isn't it enough I actually created the thread?

Teacher said:

Don't worry about it....it is a non-issue.

Ask your doctor about the different ways to 'cleanse' ( ) yourself. You can use a pill form, a small amount of liquid, or drink the gallons of stuff. I used the pills.

Good luck.

Teacher said:

How odd, no more than 10 minutes ago I was talking to my mom who is getting one done this month.

She's gotta drink all that crap too.

On her info sheet it read:

"THE BOWEL PREPARATION WILL CAUSE YOU TO GO TO THE BATHROOM A LOT. BECAUSE OF THIS, OFTEN INDIVIDUALS FIND THAT THEIR ANUS BECOMES RAW. APPYLING VASELINE TO THE ANUS AFTER EACH BOWEL MOVEMENT DECREASES THE ANAL BURNING".

Poor her, and poor you.

JustErin said:

My info sheet says pretty much the same but it names a cream instead. Can I get your mom's phone number?

JustErin said:

...just when I thought that the thread about Paris Hilton being behind bars would be the hottest thing I would read on the org today....

Illustrator said:

LMFAO!!!

You will s**t your guts out 'till there's nothin' left in you but clear liquid. Be ready to make that toilet your best friend.

Believe me, I know...

The actual colonoscopy isn't painful at all, though a bit embarrassing. Some doctor and a nurse looking all up your exposed bottom. You're asleep through it, though and a bit drowsy afterwards. That's why you have to have someone pick you up - they don't want you driving anywhere for 24 hours...

Thanks, I'm getting a very clear picture now... my dad's coming with to babysit me afterwards, to be on the safe side I'll have a dogsitter standing by as well I think cos if I feel anywhere near as crappy as I did Wednesday after the gastroscopy (is that the word in English?) I don't wanna have to go anywhere.
