Please see my post here on some reasons to get off your behind and take care of your behind. There is plenty around the internet to describe individual experiences with colonoscopies. I'm adding to that body of work only to share with you some things I wished I had known in advance to discuss with my doctor PRIOR to having my colonoscopy. While my typical approach to 'stuff' is to do a reasonable amount of research to ensure that I have a full understanding of whatever it is that I'm embarking upon, I had not planned on scheduling a colonoscopy at the time of my doctor's visit. But given that I had blow past the recommended screening age, I was scheduled before leaving the office. And scheduled for Monday no less. Accordingly, I was not prepared (by my standards) to understand the backdrop of the procedure and the prep.
