Colonoscopy, how long after...

[John the Plumber]

First timer, how long after before able to get on a saddle? Just coming off COVID too, so really itching to ride.

Next day as long as you eat. They don't use rotor rooter cable........ LOL

Best part of the whole process was immediately going to the local Pizza joint next to the outpatient center after the procedure.

Nothing like pounding a few slices while still dopey from that anesthesia high just prior. Lunch had a very college esque feel to it that day.

All clear...back in 10 years. Upon further review maybe this thread should be moved from First Timers section to Advocacy and Access

Now on to breakfast!

Due to some stomach issues and a big H flare up the last few weeks I went back to the GI doc last Friday who also happens to be my GP as well.

General exam down there was fine he actually said he didn’t see any major hemmoroid issues but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any. The good news is I don’t have any significant symptoms of anything.

Turns out it’s been 14 years since my last colonoscopy where they removed some benign polyps. He said the general guideline is every 7 years but we need to get it scheduled. I’m not sure if it’s because of insurance but he told me I have to get it done within 30 days so expecting a call this coming week to get it lined up.

Small part of me is nervous as I’m not sure I could handle bad news of any kind but avoiding it and not getting treatment would be 10x worse.

To be continued. …

P.s. for anyone who has a flare up since we are sharing so openly here this stuff is like a miracle even if it’s expensive for a small tube.
The name brand was $35 so this was cheaper. Same ingredients.
