| I've had it done twice, wasn't too bad other than the prep as you have said was kind of a pain. I wasn't awake enough to know it was happening other than when they first started. My wife has done the colo-guard for a few years, and this year it came back positive, so she will have hers done in a couple weeks. Being somewhat diabetic I'm pretty sure she will have issues with low blood sugar and they say you take sugar pills or drink Gatorade. Hopefully the result will be nothing found or only a minor snip of a polyp here and there. I think I have to have it done again in 3-5 years again. Something to consider: On the last one I had done, I asked the doctor if he would check my throat while he was at it (presumably with a different or cleaned scope). Well, they found I also had a hiatal hernia in my stomach and my pyloric valve was shot and I had pre-cancerous cells. That all got fixed with same day surgery and so far no hiccups (pun intended). | |
