Lamh Foistenach Abu! The Colonoscopy every 10 yrs really isn’t that bad.
The day before is far, far worse than the Coloscopy!! In many ways, getting sedated and sleeping through the Coloscopy was the reward for doing what has to be done.
All in all, I’m going to guess that the ‘prep’ needs to be done whether you go with the flexi-scope every 5 yrs, or the Colonsocopy every 10 yrs. I don’t know about you, but I’m all for doing this only every 10 yrs for a 20 minute, sedated Colonscopy, instead of every 5 yrs with the flexi-scope.
Like I said - the day before is the worst part.
Lamh Foistenach Abu! Sometimes the colonoscopy does not perform so smooth. My wife had a terrible time. The original scope was too large and had to be replaced with the pediatric scope. She was conscious despite the sedation. Overall it was a very difficult experience for her.
I would rather have the colonscopy than flexiscope if the flexiscope can only see part of the colon. I had the colonscopy done twice with polyops found both times although not much in the second time.
Colonoscopy is 7 years now

Amen!The sleep is well worth all the prep the day before..
