This. The prep is the worst part of it. Procedure was a literal breeze.. I farted so much in the recovery area.. zero shame. I put on quite the show and they loved it.
Shit. I have to drink a litre of the stuff tomorrow and another on game day. “MoviPrep is the one I’ve been given.

How often did you break wind?
Back to normal by the next evening, so for about a day I had some rippers every couple of hours.
I meant did you break wind during the examination? I don’t want to embarrass myself.
Brother, leave your pride at the door. You are either going to be asleep and not worried about anything, or you're going to be laying there while they pump water and air into your butt as water runs out your butt and a nurse is ready with towels to clean up "just in case" while it feels like you are actively soiling yourself with diarrhea. Then the nurses clean you up afterwards and wipe the excess lube off your butthole.
I don’t remember what mine was called, but it came with a couple of flavor packets. The flavor thing made it a bit more tolerable, but it’s what happens after about an hour of drinking the stuff that really sucks. Good luck with everything.
Were the stomach movements painful and for long did they last? Also, what was your last meal going in?
The only painful part was when I woke up during the procedure, and the doctor knocked me out right away. The clean out process was more of an annoyance than painful; I basically played on my GBA the whole night so that I could stay mobile between my chair and the bathroom. I had no restrictions on the last meal, but I could not eat after I started taking the liquid; I believe I had pizza. My doctor was very cautious apparently and I was not able to eat afterwards for 48 hours. I have checked with people who had the same procedure with different doctors and they literally went out to eat on the way home. Hopefully, you can eat immediately afterwards, because you will be super hungry. Good luck with everything.
You won’t even know it. The epic ass-queefs after are more than worth it.
Thanks man. It’s at around 4PM, so hopefully it’ll be about an hour, then followed by the recovery and I’ll back on the bus and home at around 8.
Good luck! I hope they find what they’re looking for. It’s a bit more painful when they have to send an camera down the other direction.
You forgot to mention the farting.

They allowed you to be awake for both? What backwards shithole country do you live in? Also, I’m pooping right now.I returned from the hospital with a numb mouth and sore ass (I’m sure there’s a joke there). And the reason being I was booked for a gastroscopy alongside the colonoscopy, unbeknownst to me. I agreed to having both procedures and I’m telling you that throat examination was horrifying, especially since I was awake.
The endoscope was incredibly thick and black covered in lube (another joke) and they had to force it down my throat as I struggled and tried to breath. I remember grabbing onto the attendant’s hand and damn well breaking it off. It was an unpleasant and awkward sensation, but fortunately it didn’t last long and the nurse was very supportive.
The colonoscopy was also unpleasant with the large probe going in and filling my bowel with air, the pain was excruciating, like I was being stabbed, but I got used to it and carried on without any laughing gas.
Surprisingly I didn’t fart once during the W examination and both of them took around 10-15 minutes. The bowel preparation was also overblown as many users said it was the worst bit, but it was only diarrhoea and I managed it quite easily.
Anyway thanks for the advice and stories. I’m glad to put this behind me and I hope the tests were accurate despite the short time they took to complete. Next time I’ll be asking for the smallest endoscope available to avoid being traumatised
I chose to be awake as I didn’t have anybody else available to pick me up at the time and was taking public transportation home. I didn’t mind the strong pain from the air during the colonoscopy, but the throat exam was very difficult and horrifying. Fortunately it only last about 30-40 seconds. I live in the UK.

Do you really I had a camera tube put through the vein in my right arm to check my heart and though they gave me a sedative that supposed to put me to sleep I still remain awake through the procedure and could feel them poking through my own arm so it didn't hurt
A pen? I don’t even wanna know where you found it.
Was uncomfortable for sure but fortunately it didn’t last long. The camera down the throat was not pleasant but didn’t last long thank Jesus.
