Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Debbie...hmmmm..that's the way to go, the film capsule. I'm sure anything that is easy or makes it easier for the patient, insurance may not pay for. I had to get a pre auth for the osmoprep...and then it had to go to a review board. a Just want to say I am all for a different type of prep for a colonoscopy. My Gastro is with a big group and they even have the film capsule to swallow. He didn't offer it to me which is just as well since my insurance probably won't pay for it. hugs, Debbie L ************** New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.

The other problem with that approach was since that endoscopy went down as far as the Iliac region beyond the duodenal area, and they pump a bit of air in there to see better, I was belching and burping for most of the afternoon. Glad I had a private office with a window. LOL!!!! Bob > > Wow Bob...you are one brave man!
