I survived the colonoscopy!
Hi! Just wanted to give an update from my post the other day about being on liquids for 2 days prior to my scheduled colonoscopy. I had the test this morning and everything went fine--results are good. I found myself in a bit of a difficult situation as far as being on liquids for 2 days though. Several of you thought I should contact my family doctor, which was very good advice--but day 1 of the 2 days was on a Sunday and day 2 was the day his office is closed. So, I decided that I would continue with the instructions I received from the hospital and if I couldn't handle it, I would just call and cancel the test. The worst thing that could happen would be that I would have to wait another 6-8 months to reschedule--yes, 6-8 months is a normal wait time here in Canada! Well, I did survive the 2 days of liquids only. I made sure I drank lots and spent most of the entire 48 hours in bed or doing very little. The test itself was a breeze--don't remember a thing! Thanks for your help and support!

I'm so glad it worked out for you. I feel for you. My hubby had a colonoscopy a couple weeks ago and the prep was pretty horrible. And he didn't even have WLS. I'm glad you made it thru in one piece. Welcome back to real life.
