Hi,
I, too, was dreading my colonscopy, but the fear was far worse than the procedure. The nice thing about a colonoscopy rather than a flex sig, is the anesthetic they gave me caused me to remember NONE of the procedure! I've heard from other people that they remembered it but it wasn't bad. All I remember is talking to the nurse one minute, and the next minute the doctor saying he was finished!
However, the prep wasn't fun. What a great idea about sucking on lime wedges! Wish I had known that tip. I don't know what kind of stuff you have to drink, but I had a powder that I mixed with Crystal Lite pink lemonade powder and that made it more palatable.
One hint (sorry to be somewhat indelicate) that I wish I had known was to buy some wet wipes and use those rather than toilet paper. It gets a little raw down there!
Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll do great!
