Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 It's been a while since I posted and want to say hello to all the oldtimers. died June 11 and since them I have kept myself worn out so that I don't have a lot of time to think. I decided to start with the outside of my house and believe me I have muscles aching that I did not even know I had. It has been 3 years since my Son and myself had our colonoscopies. We have ours scheduled for next week. The daughter has once again come up with a thousand excuses why she can not do hers right now. My question for you is I have a new Gastro Doctor and he refuses to let me take the Visicol pills. He insists on us taking the discusting stuff you drink. He says it a new version and you only take half the amount that you did before. It is called HalfLytely and Bisacodyl Tablets. Has anyone tried this prep and is it any better than the gallon of prep? I am so afraid I will not be able to get the stuff down. I tried it once before and could not handle it. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you guys and gals. I check the site every couple of days but it brings back so many bad memories that some days I just cant handle the reminders. For all the newbies I will encourage you to participate and be a close member. I would have not made the 5yr battle without all of you and your helpful information and love.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Joyce, I know what you mean about the reminders. I still care deeply about the members of this board, but I have a hard time reading the posts some days. My doc has me drink phospho soda and take Ducolax tablets. It is not as bad as the gallon of vile tasting liquid. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I am so sorry you lost . He lives within you now and your children. Sometimes it is good to stay busy and not think too much. But please take care of yourself too. I do not know anything about this colonoscopy prep. Let us know how it works and how you tolerated the prep.
