Coincidentally I had my lst one just a couple days after my 55th birthday earlier this year.

They squeezed me in for an appointment on determining right method and then, the actual screening the next day...which meant with 30 hrs. I had to stop eating, drink the prep crap and go to the toilet tons of time. I had no choice because dearie is the only person I knew who could take me home during a normal working day.

Patients are given photos of their colon. Mine is clean and pink. Wonderful. As usual they had problems inserting light anaesthesia needles in my veins....like trying to find my veins.

I think I lost 5 lbs. temporarily and drastically for prep. in a short period of time. I was medicated out during the procedure. Fine by me.

I don't need to get 2nd one until a decade later. Fine by me.

It certainly helps me to cycle often...for bowel motility.
