After my colonoscopy, in recovery, when I awoke, I asked the nurse why she hung around so much…she said she is the “FART NURSE” and if you don’t fart, a lot, that’s not good, so go ahead and let it rip!
I can still laugh about it…now…all I can say is GO FOR IT…get it done…it saves lives!
You are adorable.
I have my first procedure this coming week and you certainly helped me to feel much more relaxed about it. Thank you for taking the time to video tape this process and for sharing such a personal experience with us all. God Bless.
This is exactly what i was looking for.
God bless you. I have been terrified for week about my upcoming procedure. I’m 42. My father died of colon cancer at 54. Doc’s say I must go now due to my family history. Your video set my mind at ease and I see now I don’t have to be so terrified. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are an excellent teacher, Priscilla, and your presentation was very reassuring. I am not looking forward to the prep, because of all of the comments I have seen, but you seemed to cope– I hope you’re healthy. Thanks.
Doctors have the best damn skin I am jealous right now I mean just look at it!
Thanks for sharing. That’s really kind of you. I’m having my first colonoscopy tomorrow and I was glad to see your video.
3:37 was hilarious “…… I’m gonna slow down a bit.”
I had a sigmoidoscocpy done a month ago and those bowel preps aren’t fun at all; worse than the actual procedure. I was diagnosed w/ proctitis but I’m still not responding well to animal fats/proteins so my doc has ordered a bunch of Radiology scans w/ barium AND a colonoscopy. The barium for the CT scan was terrible and scary to pass through and the idea of conscious sedation for the upcomin colonoscopy spooks me. TY for the inspiration
I’m prepping for a colonoscopy tomorrow. i didn’t get any pills, instead I have to drink 4 litres of the most terrible tasting liquid. I swear, don’t think I can finish it…yuckk!
Thank you. There aren’t enough words. I’ve been petrified…and you’ve inspired me. That’s what it’s really all about, isn’t it?
i feel so stressed right now about having this procedure. i have blood in my stool and had a rectal exam yesterday. there was a part there that hurt, but the doctor found no blood. he said i might undergo colonoscopy, which will still depend on the results of my CBC and Fecalysis tests.
the doctor also said it can be done even without sedative. i just don’t know if that hurts or would feel uncomfortable in any way. but im also worried about getting sedated for fear of not waking up anymore
This was very informational! My Father was diagnosed w/ colon cancer at the age of 41 and I am almost 40. I have been avoiding having the procedure done but I feel I should. These videos have put me at ease. It doesnt seem so bad to possibly save my life!
Thank You! C
THANKS!
I had my colonoscopy last week and I to drink a gallon of TRILYTE before the procedure, this sure made nauseous. I thought that most patients do this kind of prep. I sure didn’t take any kind of pills as this woman did.
Good video. My concern though is, what if you’re hypoglycemic and can’t go without food like that? Doing the prep would be hard if not impossible.
This is really awesome and informational and I like that it came from a patient and not a doctors view point. Going in Friday for mine. Thanks.
You were so lucky to do the pill prep! They gave me a gallon (!) of GoLYTELY as prep. I managed half. Fortunately it was enough. Nasty stuff!
thnxxxxx
Thanks for this video! Haven’t had it done in 8 years so I’m way past my time to have had it done. I have one coming up this Tuesday and my nerves are wrecked!!!
There’s a pill??? OMG I’d rather take that than the liquid! OMG
Thank you so much for this video, I’ve not long been told that I will probably have to have this done and was quite frightened. It doesn’t seem so bad now.
