I have a colonoscopy tomorrow am. Not a fun day here for me. I don't think I ever want to eat again. Also very nervous about tomorrow. And tonight.

I hope everything comes out alright! You're very brave. I'm chicken to do this. I'm waiting til they train a dog to sniff me. I had like half a sigmoidoscopy once before the Dr gave up, and I'm trying to get my current Dr to accept that as proof that I'm a perfect you-know-what. I know it's not a laughing matter, my T's mother died of colon cancer when he was a little boy and he gets tested a lot now that he is older. But I have had like 5 hemorrhoid operations and I think that is more my problem. Cleaning out would just tear my butt apart. I have a relative who had to have butt surgery after her cleanout, she got such bad hemorrhoids. No thank you. Like they say, Exit Only! But I hope your butt is okay!

I have a digestive disease and have had to have three of these done and I'm only in my early 30s. They make it pretty easy now-a-days, as they knock you out. You won't remember a thing, and once the medicine wears off, you'll be back to scarfing down food I know it's uncomfortable, but it's worth having the procedure. The prep is the worst part. I use Vaseline so I don't get a rash-gross, but the best advice I came give ya. Good luck and try not to worry...
