re: Enjoying my last solid food for the next little while....

i had my first one earlier this year.

after however many hours of shitting water, then shitting air, then water and air, i show up ready to be scoped.

nurse goes through all the preliminary questions etc, then says remove all clothing but your shirt, place them in the bag and I'll be right back. the body still in shock from the number of toilet runs, i drop trow and I'm a little less manly at that moment. i guess that's one of the last things i remember prior to going under.

the next image i have in reality is my wife shaking her head and me asking what did i do? to which she responds "you're such an idiot". well no shite, but what did i do. she said i announced from the procedure room all the way to where she was waiting for me that "I felt it was very important for everyone to know that I'm a grower, and not a show'er".

well, i guess i felt it was important.

In Asia you get a colon exam by swallowing a pill that you later shite out. The pill also films your entire digestive system. Why are we still forcing invasive cameras in people's assess??

Because the clinical trials in the US were conducted in College Station.

The cameras kept getting traded from arse to Mouth over and over and over again.

Hence the name: Texas A&M

That’s used in the US all the time too.

It’s usually for evaluating the small intestine which cannot be reached by a normal colonoscopy

It’s not “better” - it’s just a different tool for a different job


Plus, have you ever seen the final combines 360 degree pictures from a pill camera?

It ain’t black and white let me tell you

That’s a wonderful nap though. Go hard on the prep.

Because that camera can miss smaller polyps and deliver poorer images. Then if you do have a polyp, you have to do the entire prep again and have an actual colonoscopy. With traditional colonoscopy polyps are removed right then and suspicious areas that can be missed by the pill can be biopsied immediately.

Get the anesthesia…don’t try to be a tough guy…that’s all I got

I get anesthesia any time it is possible. I get nitrous oxide for a teeth cleaning.

The teenage kid thinks this is the funniest thing ever.

Yes. And it tastes like salt water.
