(((yellowted))) - I felt sorry when I read you feel alone and scared. I had one of these and agree with others - the prep is what's unpleasant. I hated every minute of that awful tasting liquid and starving myself. I usually eat what I want and never been on a diet. Here in Canada, its always done in the hospital and you're fully sedated but wake up after and no pain ...except for gas. We do have to get a ride home though. Could you stay one day in the hospital?

I pray the doctors will find out the source of your troubles but hope its nothing serious. Go ahead and take your cuddly snowman with you - who cares what they think. I even like to hug my daughters stuffies once in a while. I'm sorry you feel alone.
