Colonoscopy

[unloadonme]

um... how exactly do you give them a sample? Do they just fish it out of the toilet or do you do it into a bucket?

That makes sense. I hope it goes well for you.

If they take pictures or record it i would love to see it. I love weird stuff like that!

And the prize for the most crass remark goes to ......

 

[Yooper]

Now anxiously awaiting the results.

*fingers crossed*

 

[shea]

I hope it is nothing serious. Best of luck ozguy.

I have a good feeling.
You'll be fine.

Thank you -- I'm a Libra - what can i say?

I did the veggie thing for 12 years myself -- My bloodwork is EXACTLY the same with meat (and donuts ) and without. and that's after a couple years --

as for gentics - yes indeed -- pretty important - but diet aside -- my uncles that smoked and drank - passed in their 60's (bad hearts?) and the ones that DID NOT -- got past 92 !! it's a crapshoot !! (since we're talking poop here) - hehehhehe

Don't get any more brilliant ideas LUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - ozzie is not sending you vid of the procedure.

Well, the good news is that they're catching anything that COULD be wrong very early, and even the doctors are saying it's highly doubtful anything serious could have developed. I wish you all the best.


Serious question to all the gay men here who've had a colonoscopy: Doesn't it kinda feel good, since you're used to having something long up your butt?

They put you out most of the time from what I understand. You don't feel anything, during or after.

It also bends and goes deep into the colon, a few feet I heard, so no it will not feel good even for a power fisting bottom.

I spoke to someone once who's mother had it done and they perforated her colon and she died after a colonoscopy.

Touch wood all goes well, and that they find nothing to be alarmed about, Ozguy . . .

As others have said, it's the prepartory tasks the night before that are the worst; before the actual procedure they'll simply give you enough Milk of Amnesia so that you won't remember a thing !

Here's hoping you're right as rain again in no time !

Well, that's reassuring!!!

um... how exactly do you give them a sample? Do they just fish it out of the toilet or do you do it into a bucket?

We have a government funded bowel cancer screening programme going here for people in the 50 - 65 age bracket. We receive an invitation (and testing kit) through the mail to complete a simple test called a faecal occult blood test (FOBT) at home and then we mail the kit back to a pathology laboratory for analysis. They mail us back the result and if it's positive you are advised to see your doctor for further investigation (i.e. a colonoscopy).

And no, you don't have to 'fish' your poo out of the toilet or do it in a bucket!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the loo .... it's poo day today!!!!

For phucks sake newguy!

I am almost afraid to tell you about my scheduled Vasectomy...I suppose you have a friend or know someone that had that procedure done and lost their balls and the pecker that came with it....Crass and no class lad

 

[ozguy]

I am almost afraid to tell you about my scheduled Vasectomy...

No worries, mate, I've already had that done ...... TWICE!!!!! Some tadpoles were still showing up in my semen after the first op, so a few weeks later I had to go back into hospital for another go! Fortunately, all the important bits are still intact and working!

I lol'd.

 

[operafan]

Done it twice. Ugh. The prep.

The procedure was nothing.

Best wishes for clean bill of health.

 

[Lefty]

Actually mate (there I finally used that term) and like yourself

had to have it repeated. Personally I think the Doctor was so

enamoured of my testicles that he wanted a second go at them.

The post above and it cynical wording was directed at NEWBOY to

make him aware of how rude and crass he ended his post.


Okay MATE best of the day to You and tell the bloody Dr. you want

the prints and proofs so they can't sell them to Lukeeee on

e-bay.

I don't believe you. Please post a vid as supportive evidence.

There were too amusing parts to mine.

while I was on a stretcher waiting for the doctor who was late a doctor came in and told the lady in the next stretcher that she had not cleaned herself out right.

The prep nurse told me that they give you something to put you out and it takes about 30 seconds, She hooks me up to an IV and I don't feel any different. So then after a few minutes I call her and tell her that I don't feel sleepy and it's not working. Then she tells me that the IV is just to keep my hydrated (or something like that)

When I got to the exam room and they gave me the real stuff I was out in about 15 seconds. I was fine and not groggy afterwards, but they don't let you drive home so you need a service or friend to take you.

 

[neruda]

After the procedure (and in the post operative care room with other patients) the nurse said I could expel wind if I wanted to coz its clean wind. lol!

I guess it was the only time I farted loudly in public.

Trust its all gonna be only routine.
For now just gulp your enema thingy and just let time take over.
Tight s and God bless.

 

[NVRMOR]

Really you'll be fine ozzie. It's not something you'd choose to do on your day off, but it's not dreadful. YOU WON'T DIE (what the heck are you thinking newguyj...my friend's mother died of a perforated colon).
On a delicate subject...ehm...the evacuation prior...Ask if you can use Miralax. It's oral, it cleans you out completely in one or two trips to the bathroom with no cramps. It's a huge improvement over the old enema regimine.
Again...you'll be fine. The procedure is next two nothing.

 

[braex27]

Good Luck, Ozzy.

I have to drink 3 litres of a stuff called Colonlytely (love the name!) ... 250mls every 15 minutes. It's revolting!! So far I've made 3 trips to the dunny and I've still got a litre and a bit to drink.
