Well, I haven't had a colonoscopy since Dec. of '03. And I have a bit of a bulge in my lower tum, which I've always had. But I noticed while doing the prep for my last colonoscopy, by the time I got done with it, I had lost 7 lbs & my tum was flat!
I just thought it might not be a bad idea to clean out the old colon. I can hold ALOT of poop. After my last colonoscpy my GI said I still had some poop left!
I just can't remember the prep for it! I know I had to go on a liquid diet for a day & a half & then at about 4 or 5 I took Milk of Magnesia, & then waited for some time after that before taking that drink that cleans you out. I can't remember what it was called. It was something you could buy without a prescription & came in cherry or lime flavor. It had some weird name.
But overall, when I think of it I'm scared to death to do it... so I probably won't.
