Scheduled for my first one on the 21st! Not really excited about it!
Nothing to it anymore ---- not like my first one in the late 70's when they pumped you full of barium and you stayed awake! You won't even know they've 'been there'.
As far as 'cheating', why risk having to do it again or them seeing some leftover 'turdicle' and thinking it's a cancerous spot? Every few years is enough for me.
