No jennjt, you didnt scare me. My emet scares me more than and condition out there. My prep went fine I didn't get sick. I felt sick once but it was my anxiety. I went about 10-12 times but I knew I wasn't cleaned out. I woke up this morning and went 4 more times. I showed up and told them that. But they were overbooked and wasn't worried about it. Well it was my worst nightmare. They hooked me up and wheeled me back. The doctor kept asking if I was sleepy and I kept telling him no. They sprayed my throat with some numbing stuff and asked if I was sleepy. I said no. He wasn't giving the medication time to affect me. He put a ring in my mouth and strapped it to my head. Tilted my head back and proceeded to shove the scope down. It wasn't that bad till it reached my stomach. I began to retch my body was wanting to V that tube out so bad. He kept moving it up and down I guess I to my intestines. I felt sick and it hurt so bad. Finally it was over but we still had the other end. He turned the bed around and asked if I was sleepy yet and I said no he told me he couldn't give me anymore. So he started the colonoscopy. I had so many questions. I saw big red veins, I saw skin colored bumps that looked like small polyps to me, I had green stains on my skin. Lots of dark areas. I think I fell asleep right at the end. I was in the recovery area and was barely alert. I only remember him saying ok and I was asleep again. I woke up and was trying so hard to force myself awake to talk to the nurse because the doctor was gone. I have gastritis, and these weird white spots on my esophagus and what looked like pus floating in my stomach acid. The nurse said, I swear "God made you with an extra long colon." WTF??? So I didn't have a malrotated bowel like I was told before. It's just that my colon is so long it has a lot of twists and turns and overlaps itself, which was why it looked malrotated. And because its so long it doesn't function properly. It has little to no motility. So that's why I couldn't clean out because of an obstruction. I see him in two weeks. I hope he can have better bedside manners. It's weird too because for years I felt and saw this big lump on my left side. And that's where the big turn is. It's like having 2 colons on the right side. So pretty much if I was normal I'd have a 6' colon, but since I'm not its probably 10-12'.
