Sitting on the toilet typing this. Leave for the Doctor's office in about an hour. Been up for 3-4 hours on prep round 2. I'll say this. My prep this time was significantly more challenging and uncomfortable than my last one. I didn't finish the jug if Turbo lax they gave me, but things cleared up a while ago. It's only about 15' from the couch (slept in the basement because i didn't want to keep up the wife) to the potty but there were a couple of times where it felt like 15 miles....

Eta: just finished off my 2nd roll of tp and I've been using it sparingly....

I had the procedure done for the first time last week. I had to step in the bathroom again just before they called my name but they seemed unconcerned. I did have an issue about 12 hours after the procedure. Apparently air is pumped in you to make room for the camera. I had severe pains from the air that evening. It felt like wisdom teeth moving, kidney stones, stomach pains, with gas all at the same time. It lasted for about 5 hours until my wife googled the issue and read a recommendation to lay on your left side. That began working very quickly to expel the trapped gas and relieve the pain.

Last time I had this done they wouldn't let me leave until I passed gas 3-4 times.

Pro tip:

Get you one of these rolls, and if you never need two god help your arsehole.

Also a bidet may help too to cool the ring of fire.

They should call the procedure the Tom Petty considering the names of some of his songs.

"Breakdown"
"I Need to Know"
"Don't Do Me Like That"
"The Waiting"
"Don't Come Around Here No More"
"I Won't Back Down" (Solo)
"Runnin' Down a Dream" (Solo)
"Free Fallin'" (Solo)
"Into the Great Wide Open"
"Something in the Air"

Lonnie, my Doctor uses Propofol now. I was out in seconds but when I woke up I felt fine and could have driven my car

The worst part about the whole procedure is the " getting ready" part

The directions make it easy and fool proof. Not as gross as probably a lot of people imagine.

So good all the way around. They had scheduled me for a endoscopy as well because of chronic reflux. So that's good. 7 years before I have to repeat.

But apparently I was a case waking up. Told the doc and nurses how beautiful I thought my wife was and when she walked in I told her that there was plenty of room in the bed if she wanted to crawl in with me. The nurses said, "Why don't we wait until we're home for that." Fortunately, my wife loved the flattery. According to her everyone was giggling and laughing the whole time. I remember none of it.....

That's what I got or as I'm calling it now, "Truth serum." LOL. (See above.)

Oh, and the Popeyes chicken sandwich at 10 AM was glorious.

So that was quite interesting for a first time procedure. You get in, do the prelim shite, changed and get poked, wheeled off to various waiting areas, then finally into a room where 3 folks are rapidly attaching shite to your body and face. 12 or more wires hanging down, but you don't care because you've just been given anathesia. Now you're waking up, nothing attached, procedure fine, you leave and go home with pictures of your body.

It could be mistaken for the plot of an alien abduction.

First thing I remember when I woke up was shifting over to my back a little from my left side because my shoulder was stiff.
As soon as I shifted, I ripped arse so loud and long it pretty much shocked me into lucidity.
At that point I remember asking the nurse..."so I assume it's normal to have a little gas after this?"
She found that quite humorous considering the foghorn blast she just heard.





I didn't have to fart again before they let me leave.

Did she try to flirt with you by returning fire?

That’s funny. My oldest son is a weirdo in sedation. When he comes out there is no telling what he will say. First time was going in about zombies and nazis. Guessing video games. Last time sounded like Rick Flair celebrating a match. Whoo. Whoo. Whoo and just looking crazy.

2nd said he say Indians shooting arrows and chasing people around. HA. The office had Indian paintings everywhere so that’s the last thing he saw.
Damn weird kids. 100% that came from their moms side
