All they could see from outside is how much shit is in them. With Elvis, his colon looked like a series of LARGE footballs because his colon WAS IMPACTED WITH 87 POUNDS OF FECAL MATTER.

I felt terrifically gay for a moment and then I sort of whimpered. It was like a frigging nightmare because it hurt but I couldn't frigging talk. I'm sure it was good for him though. who kidnapped guppie's account?

As a diabetic, going that long without food caused me to have a low BG crash. I am still a colonoscopy virgin. Sigh.

I guess we can survive on clear soups, V-8, fruit juices and Jello for 24 hours, but it'll get old. Fast. It's the whole afternoon in the bathroom that sounds like a real bummer. I wonder what happens if you tell the nurse upfront that you doubt you can down the whole gallon of yucky stuff before the test.

It's called virtual colonography, but most places don't have it up and running yet, and in many cases insurance doesn't cover it yet. Plus, even the VC doesn't get you out of the bowel prep, which as many have mentioned is the worst part. They have to do the bowel prep so little poop nuggets don't look like polyps. Even if VC were available in your area, and it might very well be, if they find a polyp on VC they immediately have to drug you up and do a colonscopy so they can remove the polyp. As Xabby has sort of indicated, the specifity of VC has not yet been proven. How thorough the test is at finding polyps seems to be very dependent on how well-trained the radiologist is...and sadly, there is very high variation.

The air puffs they blew up my ass so they could have a good look and see was not pleasant. It was like being pummelled by a porn star. You know when the sound coming out automatically goes up an octave or two or three. The preparation wasn't even close to that. The second worse thing was waiting in the recovery room with an old woman and we had a farting symphany thing going on.
