Prepping for a Wednesday quick thing and reading up on the info.

I can’t help but wonder though, what the hell are these two so happy about!?!??

Nothing like good marketing material I suppose.

Patton250 · 30 December 2017, 11:47 PM

I smiled after mine because I was told everything was good to go.

cop414 · 30 December 2017, 11:49 PM

No worries Seth, been there done that. I’d rather have that than have a tooth filled.

dddrees · 30 December 2017, 11:52 PM

I’m guessing, but maybe they’re still under the influence of the drugs.

You are going to the wrong dentist then.

teqp · 31 December 2017, 12:11 AM

Typical marketing. Hope things go well for you!

THC · 31 December 2017, 12:44 AM

Agree, those are “after pics” when they know it will be another 5 years before the next one.

Not sure which of those procedures you are having, but if the latter one, i have had 3 and glad I did // good Luck Seth

1st amg · 31 December 2017, 12:47 AM

Did one last year, the prep is the worse part. Cleans you right out! But during the actual colonoscopy I was sedated but was awake that I actually watched on the monitor my internal plumbing. All good. Your cleanse after the holidays might be a good thing though. Hopefully everything works out for you and nothing serious is discovered. Good luck buddy.

ejvette · 31 December 2017, 12:58 AM

I hear ya I have mine on the 22nd

Thatguy · 31 December 2017, 01:07 AM

It’s not bad. Had both done last year. Go to sleep, wake up and it’s over.

It is much easier than the dentist!

I recently had my bladder scoped. I haven’t smiled since.

GoingPlaces · 31 December 2017, 01:31 AM

Had a few of them. Before you know it you're home and done.

superdog · 31 December 2017, 02:48 AM

I’ve actually had a few of each.

I’ve had stomach issues since birth so it’s not my first rodeo. But it’s been a few years, and the issues just keep getting worse.

So it’s time again. I actually do kind of like the prep because I’ve never been quite so “clean” as when doing all that.

But I still don’t understand all the big smiles. I mean, it’s certainly nothing to be thrilled about. And everyone just looks so damned happy.

Both of us Seth,

I have had prostate issues since my mid 30s and several cysocpocy (or however the hell you spell it). Fot those that aren’t familiear with the procedure, the Urologists inserts a plastic tube with a camera to look at your bladder/prostate and they use the most direct orifice as the entry point. Oh, and you are 100% awake. At least in my world, that is something going the wrong way on a one-way street and it is the most uncomfortable non-natural physical feeling in the world. The Colonoscopy? I was very drugged up for it and besides the prep, (which sucked) it really wasn’t that bad. Best of luck to you OP.

Had that done, too. Was not a happy camper. I then had kidney stone surgery and a stent put in, all via the same pathway.

Damn, just thinking about that again puts a frown on my face. ☹️

Oh hell no.

I hope that is not next. I would ask to be knocked the F out.

See if they will do it, I was 100% awake and no Anastasia except some Liticane topical on the instrument itself. It is... indescribable. Pain, yes, but really not that bad, but it is such an un-natural feeling.... Your brain freaks out and says: “Hey, what the ($*@!??!?!?!? Nothing is supposed to be going THAT way in that tube!!! All the while, the Urologist is telling you “relax.... relax your muscles so I can get in to the bladder.” YOU FU*^#*ING RELAX!!!!!!!! The whole preocedure lasts literally a minute or two at the most, but I would rather remove my own gall bladder with a cocktail fork.

Sorry. But that was funny.

I have had two catheters put in, so maybe that’s similar?

Not even close. Think big long surgical device. Oh, and while you’re freaking out during the procedure wide awake, there’s a nurse watching the whole thing, too.

Then, once done, they leave the room as if everything is just normal. Meanwhile, in between thinking,”Did that just happen to me?” you’re still saying over and over, WTF?!!

So, it’s not the same as a catheter.
