I have my first colonoscopy Thursday.

A guy I work with had to get that camera thing in his ass and down the throat on separate occasions of course.

He said neither was comfortable but he would choose the ass one every time if he had to choose.

So it could be worse op

Endoscopy? I used to work those rooms at the hospital I worked at.

That shit always looked so fucked. I enjoyed watching the inside of people's bodies on TV though. Fascinating stuff.

But yeah shove that camera in my ass every time over the down the throat thing. Fuck that.

I need a couple impacted wisdom teeth pulled and even with that I wanna get knocked out

Maybe it's because I've never had surgery or anything, but I very much don't like people poking and prodding me.

You had your skull operated on and you didn't go under? You're one tough hombre.

Seriously? I didn't realize this is supposed to hurt. What age are you supposed to start getting these?

It's different for each person. Some feel nothing and others scream in pain. I have female friends that say it was more painful than when they gave birth.

The cause of the pain for me wasn't the actual probe, but they have to inflate your colon with air. It was so painful that they had to stop after ten minutes. As soon as the air stopped pumping, the pain vanished.

I don't know about the age thing. I'm in my thirties, I had to have one because I pooped blood.

OPs proctologist

I got mine last week for the first time. The procedure was a breeze. Relax and don’t get nervous; I quite liked the small high I got when I woke up, lol.

The prep was the worst part. Make sure you follow the preparations to the T. As long as you end up shitting up yellowish water, you’re ready.
 
Don't moan and go "Oh baby....mmmmmmfff."

I am a moderate risk candidate for colon cancer. Hemorrhoids and polyps are nightmare. The procedure itself should not be too bad as long as your Proctologist is careful not to cause perforations during the exam. Drinking the gallon of saline solution to clean out my digestive tract was fucking agonizing. The taste of light salt water was a lingering and horrible palate killer was like torture, because I was so fucking hungry, but the smell of food alone was enough to make me gag.

I’m halfway through my Miralax/Gatorade mixture and it’s been easy so far. I shat 5 times in a row 45 min after take my first round of Dulcolax at 3pm, but nothing since.

I'm thinking about shoving something fun up there for the doctor to find once he starts. Maybe a micro-machine or a bottle of Yoohoo.

BTW they inflate you with air or CO2 gas (since otherwise the colon will be folded and they won't see anything) so expect to pass a lot of gas after the procedure.

You won’t believe it possible to shit through the eye of a needle but when that drink does it’s stuff. Niagara falls man.

The sucky part is needing to fart for a couple of days after and not knowing if it’s a fart or if you are going to shit yourself.

I’ve had an endoscopy before and my stomach was kinda sore and I had lots of gas.

Basically the last thing that happened that I could remember was the guy doing the procedure saying “open your mouth” with some Eastern European accent and putting this thing in there to keep my mouth open.

Yeah I've had the throat one so that they could do a biopsy of my stomach lining.
I didn't opt for sedation as I had to go back to work afterwards and it was not particularly comfortable.
