Colonoscopy results
The colonoscopy was a literal breeze. A nice ****tail in my IV and I was out for a brief 20-30 minute nap. And the report is in, nothing, nada, cero, zip, etc. All was just perfect. No signs of anything - no diverticulitis, no IBS, no nothing.
This is all good news but also BAD news in my case since I'd love to find the answer to my side pain. Looks like it'll be yet another surgery - exploratory lap surgery. I see my surgeon Thursday morning. Will keep you folks posted.
Just for those that have to go for a colonoscopy.... the procedure was nothing. Felt nothing, feel nothing now. Just a bit of gas (but what WLS post-op doesn't have some of that anyway!) and lots of gurgling, bubbling, the sounds of a babbling brook eminating from the deep dark recesses of my plumbing.
The bowel prep was not easy but it was what it was. A cleanse. I had to use the Half-Lytely one this time. It is four pills at noon. Then you mix the solution in the jug with lukewarm water. I put it in the fridge. I used the "cherry" flavor packet. When you finally "go" then you start drinking the solution... 8 oz every 10 minutes. Takes a long while to drink it all. It doesn't taste great but it goes down. It definitely cleaned the plumbing out. For my WLS, I used phosopho soda. Two bottles of that stuff. That was strong tasting stuff and it burned on the way out so the Half-Lytely was better in my humble opinion.
That's the report...
