Anyone here have a colonoscopy before?

Today my dad starts drinking special fluids that are to prepare him for his colonoscopy on the 7th. He's gonna be going to the little boy's room more often i understand.

I have had a few. The colon has to be cleansed before they put a camera in there. It's all pretty routine.

@DrWatson TY ... when dad first read the instructions he was overwhelmed

Yeah, it's not the most pleasant procedure, but not terrible.

@SW-User 🤔sounds like bowel prep it keeps your bowel clear so the scope has a clear run up your bowel and colon so the doctor can see what is going on up there . it is not a nice procedure very true but it is better for what ever time it takes of discomfort than being ignorant to a problem that can be diagnosed with this scoping
