Had Colonoscopy Yesterday

This is just info for anyone that has to have a colonoscopy POST-RNY.  Instead of having to drink that gallon of Prescription 'nitro-explosive' liquid the night before the procedure (because of course there's no way any one of us could drink a gallon of anything in 1-2 hours), they gave me an alternative prep method for the day before.

I had to start at Noon on Sunday with 4 Dulolax tablets, then at 2:00 I had 3-6 hours to get 15 doses of Miralax down, mixed with 64 ounces of Crystal Lite.  I actually got it all down in 5 hours - I thought I was going to burst my little pouch wide open.

Anyway, the fireworks didn't begin until almost 5:30pm, but by then I was in so much pain, the bloating was horrible.  Finally, the damn burst and I think every single drop of fluid in my system shot out like a fire hose.  It wasn't pretty, or fun at all!!

However, long story short, no polyps and no cancer - just some moderate diverticulosis that I have to watch out for.  I'm okay!  

thanks for the heads up and glad you're ok!

Yikes! Glad everything is ok. I turn 50 in November and I am NOT looking forward to that test!

I did a Moviprep for mine and had no problems ...  a lot easier than your alternative by the sounds of it!

Is that the one where you eat a bag of sugar free gummi bears?
