We have a number of experts on the procedure here. I’ve put this one off for 3 years.
I would think so, we all watched the 2011-14 Astros.

Just do it. It’s a sleepy walk in the park that could possibly save your life.

Oh, I know, and you’re absolutely right… It’s at the top of the list ahead of such fun times as “knee replacement”, “lumbar surgery”, “bunion removal” and “annual trip to the dentist”.
I did get my first sun-related skin spot on my face frozen off last month, so I’m not totally ignoring healthcare issues.
I have likely undergone a totality of six, perchance seven, yet indubitably no fewer than five gastrointestinal endoscopic examinations via colonoscopy. I endeavor to cognitively reinterpret the preparatory regimen as a form of abstention from alimentary intake, deliberately eschewing contemplation of the egregious procedures that may be inflicted upon my rectal orifice whilst I am ensconced in a state of pharmacological oblivion.

I know what all those words mean but I have no idea what you just said.
I’ve had possibly 6, maybe 7, but for sure 5 colonoscopies. I just rationalize the prep as fasting and avoid thinking about the terrible things they could do to my butthole while I’m anesthetized.

More terrible than shoving a camera up there? You might want to delete your browser history.
My last colonoscopy was coupled with an endoscopy on the same visit. Two birds, one stone. Saves time for all involved. It was a party for everyone, save my driver.

I had my first last year. The prep was rough but tolerable. Procedure itself took less than thirty minutes.
A colonoscopy is far less than any of those. It’s like a visit to the optometrist for an eye exam level of uncomfortable. Just do it.

As far as what I ate after my last colonoscopy I did go to Cooper’s BBQ and had a sliced brisket sandwich. Cooper’s is fine by me.

The colonoscopy itself is the easy part. The prep is what sucks.
Picked my mom up after her last one, last year or so, her first words once we got in the truck were “I want a hamburger”
“Mom, you realize it’s 10AM?”
“Don’t care, I want a hamburger”

The prep is easier than having to be across town by 7am on game day. My only, normal, 7am activity is taking a piss and returning to the sack.

I had two colonoscopies in 2022 and both times my wife and I went out for a big brunch once we left the hospital. Then went home and crawled into bed for a 3-hour nap. I think I’m due for another one later this year and I can already taste the bacon.
Eh…it’s not that bad. People make it sound far worse than it actually is.
7:00 am, you’re already an hour late to work.
Same. I hope he did the endoscopy first, now that I’m ruminating on it.
The preparation sucks, but it’s not nearly as bad as it might be. I mean, it’s completely doable. The worst part for me was no water at all after X hour. I usually wake up in the middle of the night and gulp some water I keep by my bed so I had to remove all temptation.
I was sitting there in the clinic in one of the pre-procedure rooms and a tech wanders in and asks Is this the guy that drank the coffee this morning? Think about that poor bastard, suffers all day, forgets the next morning, drinks a couple of swigs of coffee and now he has to do it all over again.
I’ll start a list of things that I never imagined we’d be posting about when I found this joint thirty years ago:
- President Trump
- Colonoscopies
