UPDATE: Colonoscopy completed - all good! Osmo Prep It IS....Bowels, start your engines
Anyhoo, no tumors or polyps in the colon...yeah!!!!!
Oh and for the record, that OSMO PREP was a peice of cake. No cramping, nothing. Started working right away. Slept thru the night until about 5 am. There was still some stool in the colon though, higher up. I think 2 days of liquid diet would be the better route.
............................................................................................
I just picked up the prep for my 1st Colonoscopy post DX 3/2009.
I'm hoping, as a reversed ileostomy patient and frequent visitor to the "throne" that I will be cleaned out rather quickly.
I realized that I made a gyn appt for the day AFTER my colonoscopy....damn, rotor-rootered in all the wrong places in one week
wish me luck!!!
I may provide a play-by-play since I can't go anywhere and I need to keep my mind off food

Good Luck
I hope it all works out really good for you as well. My calendar is just packed with appts as well - up off one table and hop over to another table.
Just like old used cars we are - always up on somebody's else rack:)
I went 40-hours with NO FOOD. You can do it, Peggy...mind over matter.

Best line of the month. On a related note, I just scheduled my once-per-3-year colonoscopy for November 1. Just finished appointments with medical oncologist and urologist (all okay).

Good luck Peggy. I pray you
Good luck Peggy. I pray you are able to fast when needed. What flavor packet did you choose?0 -
Osmo Prep
Haven't used the Osmo Prep. For my three colonoscopies and the fourth one that I scheduled today for mid-October, it's Miralax and Dulcolax (with Gatorade) for me. I'm on the 3-year plan for colonoscopies and my last one was October of 2007. Good luck with my colonoscopy and gyn appointments.
