Good for you! Congrats! Just wondering, when was your last colonoscopy? Does the schedule change for us? I know the recommended is once at age 50 and then every 10 yrs.
I hope you found a fun way to celebrate!Thanks! My last colonoscopy and first one was March 2011. Didn't have it until I was 58 - long overdue. It was done while I was in the hospital - actually two days after biopsy.
Haven't decided how I'll celebrate yet.

I've always done the Miralax/Gatorade/Dulcolax prep for my colonoscopies (of which I believe I've had 3 or 4) and it's not so bad. It's no fun, but not bad. I hope your scope shows no problems!
I'm sure it will be a blast! If we can get through this treatment, a colonoscopy won't be so bad... will report back when it's over. Waiting to hear when it will be scheduled. No hurry, though...

That is what I UsedAZANNIE said:Another dr appt finished
Saw colorectal dr today. He said everything was fine. I need to have a colonoscopy in a few weeks. He wants to make sure everything is still ok. Haven't had a post treatment colonoscopy so kind of figured it was time. I'll have a different poop cocktail this time. Instead of Golightly (wrong name for that stuff) I get to have the miralax gatorade mix plus ducolax. I can hardly wait...

My colorectal surgeon had me do the over the counter routine similar to you. It worked REAL well...total cleanout. I had a colonscopy in 2011.
