He hated the prep, but was so fascinated by the procedure that he asked for and got pictures taken along the way. <br /><br />TaraMotor Home Catshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16651108448042750552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-21617401453375421862012-09-20T16:40:56.908-07:002012-09-20T16:40:56.908-07:00Glad you survived Thumper.

Mum has done this, but they whack her out completely with Propofal(sp), ya know the Michael Jackson drug. 15-20 minutes later, wakey, wakey. 45 more to wait to go home after a soft drink.

You are absolutely correct that the prep is the worst part...I couldn't drink the liquid because I kept throwing it up and had to take MANY pills instead...I found that out when they did a "preliminary" sigmoidoscopy. The first procedure involved much nervousness and no drugs and so was unpleasant, but the actual colonoscopy?
