Dave Barry's Colonoscopy Journal

[judy]

I've had it twice, and it's really no big deal. Then again, I really enjoyed the 1960's, so anytime I'm going to be put out, I enjoy it. I'm very relaxed for a long time afterwards.

The GoLite is ginormous, and I find it's a good idea to just take the jug with me into the bathroom do I can finish it off while "emptying" my colon. It's not a tasty treat, even though I got the lemon flavored.

I always say that every cloud has a silver lining. You lose quite a few pounds after you're running on empty.

My doctor does it at around 4 PM, so you can eat the night before, so it's only a one day thing.

I've had it done twice, also. I got to eat the day before each time. The absolute worst part was drinking the liquid. I never did get it all down either time, but did get enough to clean me out. I really tried to drink it all. It's just not possible for me. The experience is pretty much as described above. I'd rather go through this though than be told I should have done this and now it's too late.
