Just finished. No significant issues. I do have some diverticulosis pockets. Dr said it's not much to worry about though. Pretty common.

The actual procedure was beyond trivial. I had more discomfort inserting the i.v. to administer the drugs
I'm glad everything is good and it turned out alright but why TH are you telling us all?

Well, in addition to “don’t drive” they tell you not to make any major decisions or sign any contracts for the rest of the day because your judgement may be affected by the drugs. A little slack may be in order here.
I decided to join the Boneyard right after my first colonoscopy, so this explains a lot.

Once the drugs are in they can do anything they want to you. You dont care.

Good job.
You a veteran of this. There are easier ways to get those drugs! Course no need to tell you that.

Glad things went well for you.

Had my prostate biopsy at 3:30. Lol. Could not believe how painless it was. I didn’t have any drugs. And I don’t have the balls to create a thread about it. I did learn my prostates are huge. So had to google if it’s related to ejaculation. Fortunately it’s not. Hopefully my PSA is related to those babies being large and not cancer. I’ll give an update just for @alphasigko cause I’m sure he’s looking forward to it.

The prep has gotten much easier over the past 2 decades.
No it hasn’t. We need a separate board to discuss urology and it’s implications and pitfalls for many of us here. For those of you who wish to hear stories about my prostate don’t worry, I’m writing a book.

Painless, scared you though… at least mine scared me. No heads-up on what was going to happen.

  • 4 colonoscopies in the books for Deepster. Had difficulties with diverticulitis and eventually had 8 inches of colon removed. I had no problems with the prep or procedure of a colonoscopy and felt like a million bucks. Downed a full meatball grinder right after the last one.
  • Also had a pilonidal cyst that someone mentioned above. Didn't go under for that one and actually had an epidural. So when women who've had an epidural complain about childbirth, I call BS. You could have busted my ankles Misery-style and I wouldn't have known.
  • To try and really one-up the thread, I had issues with my bladder a couple years ago. Try being awake, with no anasthesia as they put a camera up the willy and into your bladder for a few minutes. Bladder cystoscopy.
