Upper GI and Colonoscopy ...

[Joe Ricard]

I did mine 3 weeks ago. Golitely is the draino prescribed. OMG it was awful. Procedure was on Profinol which I apparently have issues with. in the recovery room my heart had 7 LONG pauses technically died. They brought me out and when I responded to the monitor machine going nuts I said :What's going on"? They said Welcome back............ HUH????

Anyway, No rick factors like no smoke, no high cholesterol, no over weight, I exercise, and eat right.
finding one small pollup means come back in 5 years. LOL how does not a freaking chance bub.

I had the worst night I can remember, horrible headaches, dizzy, lightheaded, low grade fever (99.5), completely restless to where I had to keep moving. Never got into a decent REM cycle. Woke up, had 2 cups of coffee and some peanut butter toast....feeling much better. Caffeine withdrawals most likely...

I find the reaction to the "stuff" they use to sedate you interesting.

My experience ( I've had 3) have been consistent.
They hit you in the IV going into your arm, out of sight & no "here it comes". There is a reaction.....kind of a "hello, what's this", do I fight it or wait to see what happens.....then I wake up & go about my biddness...a bit fuzzy for about 10 minutes.

I WANT FOOD!!

Both end were reported clear.....IIRC. About the best I can hope for.

I bet that grub hit the spot.

Not close to my experience. I was loopy for a full 24 hours. Wanted my wife on the way home to drive me to the big-ass Summit Racing store between Akron and Kent (Summit county, hence, the name). I wanted to check it out in my pajama bottoms, slippers and winter coat.

She says NFW, "Dr said, Don't listen to a word he says. Get him in bed"

As already stated, finest 24 hours of my life as far as zzz's.
