I'm supposed to have my colonoscopy on Monday. Yikes! What I've heard isn't all that bad, though. I heard that you don't remember anything and the only side effect is some gas.

It's not until September!! I went to the GI that my personal Dr said is "the best" in the area. She must be the best if she's that busy! When her office called me back to schedule the "procedure", I almost screamed!! I can't believe I have to wait THAT long! I wanted to get it over & done with, but...so much for that. I've been trying not to think about it too much. I feel a lot better after talking to you guys, but I'm still apprehensive about it. I'm sure it'll be fine, but the anticipation is horrible! And the GI is very nice & understanding, she didn't treat me like my previous Dr, did--he told me I was complaining, whining, told me I was "just getting old & things don't work as well as they used to"!! I'm only 30, I'm not THAT old. But this Dr is very pleasant & seems to know what she's doing, and my current Dr trusts her, so I'm sure everything will go well. Thank you for following up w/me! When it happens I'll let you know how it went-without all the unpleasant details of course!

Good luck! I'm sure it will be fine. Everyone who responded to my post said that the colonoscopy is no big deal, but the day before is the hard part. My thoughts will be with you tomorrow as you deal with that stage of the procedure. I wish you well tomorrow & Monday!

Thank-you! I hope yours isn't that bad, either!

LOL, to be quite honest, I think have worse gas on a regular basis than I had from the colonoscopy.
