My final colonoscopy....
The weather is beautiful today in Charlottesville, I'm going to the beach tomorrow for three days, I had my final colonoscopy today and scored a perfect 9 on the BBPS. Life just doesn't get any better. Oh yeh, they gave me propofol. YIPPEE....
These days most people have gotten the message about the importance of colorectal cancer screening: After we turn 50, nearly everyone ought to undergo a colonoscopy every 10 years. But say you're 79 and in good health with no family history of colon disease; do you really need another colonoscopy if you got one at 70? Probably not.

Yeah, but that does not mean you can't drink the occasional gallon of Golytely if you want to.

Besides drinking 1/2 (32 oz.) of the "prep solution" at 11 last night and having to awaken at 4 am to drink the other half, the "prep" instructions have extended to five days before the procedure and are more than a little confusing. So, yeh, I'm real ok with this being the final one, whatever that might mean....

Why not the 'poop' test? So much easier. No disgusting drink. No internal...

Good luck and be well
As little as I enjoy them, I wouldn't want to think that I'd had my final colonoscopy. That would suggest that my results were really bad! But it's not about me, and I'm guessing you've had surgery to clean up a problem. Hope it it doesn't come back.

So how often are you guys having this procedure done? My last colonoscopy was about 7 years ago. I hate drinking the prep.

Not nearly as diagnostic and obviously polyps can't be removed.
