Reminds me of the joke about I'll give anyone here $100 to make mule laugh.
Colonoscopy - Jimmie Hoffa is still missing, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Eat some of both. Wife bought some metamucil crackers high in fiber. They don't taste bad but you have to use a toothpick for a half hour afterward to get the paste off your teeth.
The volume was so low I couldn't hear it and I didn't "need" to see the end result be as it may.
In all seriousness yes get it done.
I had my first this year in June, I am 54. Doc removed a small polyp from my ascending colon. It was OK, meaning no cancer cells, but as the doc said if you get colon cancer this is the kind of polyp that turns into cancer, so I have to get back in 5 years.
The prep sucks, just deal with it, the rest is a breeze. I got to have propafol, Ah yes best nap I ever took.
Prep and procedure room nurses were great, when I got into the procedure room I told them girls, this is not how I imagined this going down, one of them said what being naked in a room with 3 hot women, I said yup exactly, dear penthouse, I do believe their laughter could be heard thru the entire hospital...LOL
The recovery nurse was great, when I started to wake up, she asked me if I was ready to go I looked at her pretty face and farted the longest fart ever recorded, I then said oh god I am so sorry I farted in your direction, this is not how I pick up women, her laughter was long and loud as well.
I did tell the doc that if she found a harmonica to just roll with it and not ask questions.
All in all 2 days off work, one for the prep and the other for the procedure, you cant drive or ****, but all in all its worth it, can save your life, so get it done.

I laughed my *** off reading this. Damnit, spit beer on my laptop LOL
No joke, if your 40 and havent had one of these, do it. I wish I had and I may not have lost my colon to desease. An Illiostomy bag sucks balls. And yes, they do malfunction at the most inoportune times....and thats a really crappy situation.
A colonoscopy is easier than getting a filling at the dentist but having surgery to remove a entire colon is a horrible surgery and you dont want to sneeze or cough for at least 7 weeks cause it will bring you to tears
Get checked after age 40!

That Propafol is some good ****. Wish I had some of that to get to sleep at night sometimes.
You only had one polyp? I had 10 the first time and ten this time. The smallest was 2mm and the largest was 4mm. Removed with a "cold snare"
The doctor said, "Colon cancer is preventable" "Not all polyps can become cancerous but all cancers come from polyps."

I`ve had two so far, #3 should be next year I think...
I thought the worst part is the prep!

Yuck! I'm of that age now and am dreading the almighty colonoscopy. Not so much the operation, but the prep!
I'll trade you horror stories. A few weeks ago I went in for a major surgery. I'm deathly afraid of hospitals, doctors, and have never had a surgery before (still have tonsils, appendix, etc). The operation was set for 9 a.m. in the morning, so I'm there bright and early. My anxiety was off the charts. They hook me up to an IV and when 9 a.m. rolls around, the surgeon hasn't shown. 10 o'clock, no surgeon, so they postpone until after noon. 1 pm, no surgeon. I'm hooked to IV all day, no food since the day before, etc. At 5 p.m. they showed up and told me that the doc still hasn't shown up, so they send me home.

Rotflmao!! Men ... Haha!
Grumpy opened his eyes, looked at the nurse, looked at me and then tearfully apologized to me for being such as ******* and promising he would do better from now on. I busted out laughing and the nurse said it was the sweetest thing she'd ever seen. The next words outta his mouth were "Good God baby I'm hungry! Can we go to WhataBurger??"
Honest ... I couldn't make this stuff up if I wanted to.
