Got my first one in 2009 when I was 52. I'm due for my next one in 2019.

I originally thought it was at 40 but I read somewhere else that it's 50. I'm not sure if I'm overdue or if I have 10 more years.

I did at 32 but only because of something that turned out to be nothing.

If you don’t need the procedure before the recommended age, then it’s good to at least do the prep with magnesium citrate to clean out the pipes every now and then.

50, unless you have family history which then the recommendation is 10years early.

Had one last November at 41, but I was having some stomach problems. I think it's at 50 you're supposed to get one if you're not having issues.

Twice. First 15 years ago 2nd last year. Prep is the bad part but the present system is no problem. The prep before was horrible

The US Preventative Services Task Force recommends to start screening colonoscopies at age 50 if no risks.

Had one at 22.

My phone died while I was strapped to the toilet and I couldn’t even make it to the room next door to plug it in. Was stuck reading the same issue of Better Homes & Gardens for hours. I was shitting stuff out I ate at my Kindergarden graduation. That’s all I got, good luck.

They are not nearly as bad as they used to be.

In the old days, they wouldn't put you all the way to sleep so you'd wake like half way up every once in a while and wonder what the hell was going on.

The prep isn’t that bad..... overrated if you ask me..... I’ve had to do it three times and by the third one I only had to use one dose.....
