I had my first procedure at 45 Dr. cut 10 polyps out of me. I have taken one every 4 to 5 years. Had polyps removed every time. I'll be 70 in January. Just do it.

    Will be making the call to my Dr and have him set it up . Will be 47 in January.

          And then you have about 14hrs of the runs total right? My last procedure I used Suprep…won’t happen again !

          I eat light for three days and after about 3/4 a jug of golytely and I’m running clear and I then can rest.

            No..... Did the recommended meal and fasting. Started first 16 ounce drink slam at 6.....First bout at 7:30.. then a couple of bouts between it and till 11. Slept from then to 3:30....woke up around 3:30 for 16 oz slam #2. Clear and solid liquid a couple more times. Was at the medical center office by 6:30 ....on the bed by 7:15 waiting my turn.



            I like the 32 ounces of pedialyte type drink to your 96 of milky chalky concoction... to each their own..

              How many pills are needed for the same results?



              I have my initial consultation in February. Earliest appointment they had. I guess that business is booming right now.

              My mom said it was a bunch of giant pills. She said she prefer the drink. I have a consult for my 1st time next week

                      Get it as cold as you can and drink it as fast as you can.
                      The last time, I has some that was Gatorade Ice .
                      I can't drink Gatorade Ice anymore.

                        I was cleaned out before bedtime, and slept through the night.
                        Did you drink the second dose? Told wife that if I’m putting out clear liquid I’m not taking the second dose

                            The thing is… if the doctor gets in there and it’s not as clean as he needs it, (even though your “expertise” sees clear [emoji23]) he pulls out the scope and you have to reschedule another time….meaning start the whole prep process all over as well. Plus most insurance only pays for one monitoring scope a year. Second one comes out of your pocket if your insurance is like most. The medical center isn’t going to give you a do-over on the bill. I took the second bottle for really cheap insurance (since I already paid for it ) and didn’t want to start again. Something to think about.

                            We were told to eat/drink clear liquids and broth and no drinks with red or purple dye.
