Re: Another post about colonoscopy fears...please read!!!
I haven't had a colonoscopy but my husband has. In fact, he had his first last year and I was scared to death. His prep consisted of a huge jug of liquid and he had to drink an 8oz glass of it every 10 minutes until it was gone and I was convinced he would end up v. Long story short, he didn't have one bit of trouble-no n, no v-nada. He started his prep at 4pm and was all cleaned out by 8pm. In fact he was salivating over all these fast food commercials cause he had to fast and couldnt eat a thing.
He also did awesome with the procedure. He slept off the sedatives, woke up a couple hours later and went and played a round of golf!!
To me, the Miralax with gatorade sounds the lesser of two evils. I've also read on this site of others who did that and sailed right through. And for the love of God-please, please, please stay off google!! I'm convinced that 95%of the reviews people put out there are over-dramatized and are of the "woe is me" variety. I know it's easier said than done, but please try to remember that much of that is fear-mongering. I'm sure we could google 'tylenol' and find a ton of people who claim it made them v non-stop for hours on end....you know how some people like to be over the top dramatic!
