I had it done this morning.
I intentionally did NOT click on this thread before getting it done, figuring it would be a bunch of horror stories.
It was very simple.
The day before, I ate only a very light breakfast. Then just water and broth.
The "stuff" they gave was called Suprep. Drank it at 6 pm. It was fine. It didn't taste horrible, I had no problem guzzling the diluted total of 24 ounces at once. Drank another 32 ounces of water over the next 20 minutes, easy.
Had to of course evacuate for the next few hours, but it wasn't bad. Pretty quickly was just lightly tinted water. Maybe 7-8 trips to the can. No biggie.
But 8 is was mostly over, by 9 pm it was completely over.
Went to sleep at 10. Woke up at 3 am b/c had to do a second dosing, which I did at 4 a.m.
That one was done by 6, so I went to sleep again until around 7:30. (So, basically I got a full night's sleep).
At the hospital, they gave me what must have been a very light sedative. I was out for maybe 10 minutes, but then fully awake for 20 or more minutes of the procedure. I mean FULLY awake. Watched it on the monitor, chatted with the Dr. and nurses.
No pain, no discomfort. He said people do it with no sedation at all. I'd be tempted to try it next time.
By the time I left the hospital 30 minutes later, I felt 100% normal.
So, 10/10 would recommend.
(I'd also recommend Suprep for the bowel prep. My insurance covered it 100%, but I think it's $150-$200, so others might not cover it).
