Re ScottPA fiancee is actually having a colonoscopy done tomorrow. She is doing the prep tonight,
BB and I had one. The prep is the more difficult part for many people. Drinking a gallon of "flush" web site>COLYTE® and COLYTE®-FLAVORED electrolite takes time and becomes uncomfortable/full feeling. Then there are the runs and runs to the toilet. Some people use sanitary pads in back of their undies just in case they dont make it to the toilet in time. Other than feeling "extremely full" and constantly going to the toilet and barely making it, BB or I had no other problems.
If the prep is unflavored, add a pack of some light collored flavoring to the electrolite. We could eat jello so did. BB thought she was bleeding internally because the red Jello came out looking like blood in the stool. It wasn't blood, so if you can eat Jello, try some of the lighter collors. That way you know she is not bleeding.
The colonoscopy; BB was out from her sedative and barely remembers a thing until about 3 hours later. I watched most of my procedure on the monitor but could have been in a fog for a couple of minuets.
After the colonoscopy, (the client gets a sedative) don't let her drive. Some people need the whole day to be aleart enough to do anything constructive. I was OK and was driving in 2 hours. BB was smoked/in a fog for the rest of the day till about 6PM. I had mine at 8AM, BB had hers at 7AM on different days. FWIW
